jukel123 8,809 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 bee eater image Saw some of these in Cumbria this year. Seen them in Spain too. When I saw your bird Paulus I thought it was possibly a bee eater. But it obviously isn't. I think it must have been a Wagtail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The white throated bee eater looks very similar to Paulus' image to my obviously very, very untrained eye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
