Roller's, Bee-Eaters and Trumpets



 Two mornings out Birding and back home before heat arrives



Juv Bee-Eater

It was pretty good and our target birds we're nailed. Double figures for European Roller's 10+ around the lower levels of La Marina in fact we saw more Roller's that Bee-Eater's which I think is a bit of a record and around our local patch Bee-Eaters don't seem be as numerous as in previous year's?

And carrying with our research into the Trumpeter Finch in the Valley of Montnegra I'm pleased to say the breeding was pretty successful with at least 10 individuals identified most birds seen at any one time was 8 and also two adult male with different leg ring numbers
