I was recently watching an episode of the popular and very funny 'Keeping up appearances'. A particular scene outside Hyacynth Buckets house made me smile as European Bee-eaters could be heard calling. Has anybody else picked up on this, or indeed, had any other experiences with watching a UK set programme or film with, for example, out-of-season bird-song (such as Willow Warbler singing in winter in a show which I cannot remember the title of).

I've heard this Bee-eater call on a few programmes over the years. Must be a stock library recording... Hopeless innit?!

I don't know what's more embarassing. The fact that the BBC have made a bit of a blooper or the fact you're admitting to watching Keeping up Appearances

You always get Hoopoes calling when watching Sean Bean in Sharpe.
Most of the Naploeonic episodes are in France, Portugal and Spain.

It's when you get a Macaw in a Tarzan film!
