European Bee-eater
I finally managed to tick Bee-eater in Europe. Spotted at the salt pans of Kalloni on Lesvos. These two pics were made in South Africa.

This is a typical old windmill in Kruger National Park. They don’t all have nests of course Between 1930 and 1980 about 300 windmills were erected to attract more game into the area. At first this seemed a good idea, but in the late 1980′s KNP management noticed that animal numbers began to change dramatically. Rare species like the Sable Antelope, Roan and Reedbuck began to decrease. The park has started to close the waterholes to let nature take its course, although around 50 boreholes will remain open for tourism purposes.

It was the first warm weekend of the year. We’ve had a very cold spring We saw this juvenile crow sitting quite near the cycle path. Poor thing probably hadn’t learnt to go and sit higher on the dike, where it is much cooler. Check |
