Size of Bee Eater Colonies (1 Viewer)

Hello

One website (creagrus.home.montereybay.com/bee-eaters.html) quotes Hillary Fry's claim that there was a colony of 50,000 Rosy Bee-eaters (pub date 1988 or 1992). I can't find any evidence of colonies this large (or even close) existing today. Can anyone tell me of the largest known colony of bee-eaters? Any specifics (location, species, duration of colony, etc.) would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Dr. John Eigenauer
