20-08-2014 Bee-eater chorus

Photo by Wim Bovens.

 

It was a very quiet day, with a total day count of only 329 indiviuals for station 1. Counters could relax for the time being, and prepare for the more serious work in a few days. While hardly any raptors are flying by, European bee-eaters color the sky above station 1. A lot of people associate this sound immediately with Batumi. There’s never a dull day with bee-eaters around!

If you don’t know the sound bee-eaters make: browse the Xeno-Canto catalog.
