A Bee-eater was found at the Nature Park this morning, a first record for the obs, whilst packing up after a ringing session. It was heard to call three times while packing away a 40`net in the reedbed, luckily it was soon located hawking insects over the far side of the pool and adjacent grassland. It seemed to appear with Swifts and Hirundines when the cloud broke and the sun came out. It was watched for 2 minutes before it became vocal, gained height and drifted off high SSE at 0820.
