Bee-eater

 As I arrived at DBO I could see DE and JS sitting in the bench. I went in, turned the kettle on and then went out to see what was happening. JS came over the moat to tell me about a bee-eater that had been found by DW and had been floating around but had now disappeared. A few minutes later they both heard a call and it was re-found heading back.  It hawked around with a gathering group of hirundines before heading off again. It was see over Kerton Road but then re-appeared, flew high and lost again. A phone call from DB alerted us to it sitting on the wires behind his house.
