Trimingham Bee-eaters - 29th July 2023

On Saturday, Jayne and I went to a special RSPB viewpoint in Trimingham, Norfolk, to see some European Bee-eaters (year tick 175). The birds; 3, 1 pair and a male, were in a quarry, where, earlier in the year, they had attempted to breed. Unfortunately, the birds' breeding attempt failed (likely predation), but they are still hanging around the site.

Whilst there, we saw all three birds flying around the quarry, catching insects (bees presumably!!) and perching up. They were quite distant, but we had great views through the 'scope and managed a few, very dodgy, photos.
