Bee-eaters
Hi, I'm new to this site but hope someone can help me with some info. I'm a bit of a "twitcher" and I would dearly love to add bee-eaters to my "seen" list. I've been told they do visit the Costa Tropical area. Does anyone know if they return to the same places each year? Thanks in anticipation.

Yes they do return every summer and if you go to any dry (obviously!) river bed you shoud be able to see them as they nest by making holes in the sandy river banks. You can also spot them by listening out for the "bubbly" sound that they make when flying overhead in groups.

Thank you for your replies. I have been looking in their preferred types of habitat, but perhaps I need new specs. I envy those of you with them in your garden. Here, perhaps the Bonelli eagles overhead make them more evasive. El Cid has kindly forwarded me specific directions to a site only two ks. away so I live in hope. Again, thank you.
