Une vingtaine de guêpiers

We heard an unusual bird call in our driveway so I turned on the Merlin app which identified it as a bee-eater – un guêpier.

We couldn’t spot it though but suddenly there were five of them flying above our heads.

The next moment there were 15 and then about 20 guêpiers spent the next 30 minutes circling our house and, I guess, feasting on bees.

Quatre guêpiers

They didn’t stop for a moment so you’ll have to forgive the quality of the photos.

A lovely bird
