FUN FACT

The most wonderful time of the year...

Bird Season! The start of summer brings countless species of migratory birds back into our range making it a birders' paradise! These gorgeous European Bee-Eaters are just one species that we love to welcome back. If you know their call you will most likely hear them before you see them. The European Bee Eaters are generally traveling in bigger groups, staying quite active as they catch insects in flight. Their bright colours and cheerful call definitely puts them towards the top of the list for birds you want to see!
