Holiday - Bee eaters

A ton of pics and vids to sift through in time.

A great week or so away - though bizarre how it zips by in a flash in an almost dreamlike fashion. Where did it go...

Set off on the 16th. Decided to do some twitching en route. On the journey up I stopped off to see the bee-eaters that had taken up residence in Notts; seemed logical as the Isle of Wight had breeding success not that long ago; plus they are gorgeous birds. The RSPB had set up a view point, so it was quite easy to turn up, pay and park, and then walk to that area and get straight on to them - had four happily perched and feeding. Apparently they have chicks now, so great stuff.
