Finally, a Rainbow Bee-eater (1 Viewer)

The first Rainbow Bee-eaters were spotted around Perth back in late August.

Last week I finally heard some at Wireless Hill, but didn't see any.

Yesterday I finally saw a few at Carine Lakes. One appeared directly in front of us and an astute member of the group realised this bird had dug it's nesting hole directly into the ground in front of us! Generally Bee-eaters dig hollows into embankments, but there was a lack of such formations at Carine. I'm not sure how successful this bird will be however, many people walk their dogs in the area and many don't heed the "please keep your dog on a leash" signs.
