Bee-eaters!

Linda had a hospital appointment this morning, so I was hoping she wouldn't have to endure the usual two hour wait: in the event she was home really quickly and we were soon off to Hempstead to look for the reported flock of thirteen Bee-eaters. Amazingly they were present when we arrived and there was a decent place to park!

We enjoyed watching these beautiful birds (albeit at about half a mile range) before driving the short distance to friend KT's house. It was without doubt the bees from the N&DBKA's nearby apiary that were providing lunch for the colourful visitors!
