Bee Eater

Today I was privileged to see this Bee Eater at Lands End. This confiding bird stayed around for some two hours feeding on Bumble Bee' etc. Thanks to Linton Proctor and John Swann for this stunning sight, what you would call a top bird. I personally was knocked out by such a beautiful bird. This was a first for me, as many are, as I have said in the past my birding age is about thirteen. Thanks guys for this and thanks to Steve Rogers South West Optics for the Lens. Click on the images and enjoy
