Bee-eaters
2 June 2005
Looking even more splendidly colourful than even the illustrations in the books, it looks like there the two Bee-eaters were a pair as they flew around together and obliging settled in a tree near the path at the back of the west side gardens of Ravens Road, central Shoreham, (hereafter to be known as Bee-eater Twitten).

They perched on branches high up in the tree and could be seen very clearly, but apparently not nearly close enough for a massive 600 mm camera lens. not mine, but with the contingent of birders. The Bee-eater has a long black beak which can be seen distinctly. I waited for ten minutes to see if one of them flew around and caught a bee, but it was more intent on preening.
