European Bee-eater

Incredible – its incredible to see flocks of turquoise, red & yellow birds flying overhead in a noisy confusion.
Crying back and forth as they soar by.
How can they possibly exist? – so exotic – so show offish.
8 or 10 of them- streamlined, starling sized birds swooping by.
Its only when I found them calmly described with their habitat, migration routes and population that I could really believe what I'd seen, European Bee-eaters (Merops apiaster).
They really do exist.

Profitant du guêpier dans lequel je viens de me fourrer, mille bises d'un Poitou orageux, mais paisible.
