We went shopping this morning, and so we had to take a look, more to see the twitchers as to see the bird. They were out in force.
One told us he had come from London just to see. He even loaned us his binoculars so we could have a look. It turns out that the bee-eater is a bright blue bird, about the size of a blackbird.
Sadly all we had was Marie's 'phone so we didn't get the same quality of picture. But here it is anyway.
