Description: | The European Bee-Eater is unmistakable - a large and colourful species that is a summer visitor to much of southern Europe, breeding as far north as Brittany in France. As its name suggests, it feeds on bees and wasps, but will also take a variety of insects as food. It digs a burrow in a sandy bank, and will often nest colonially. It is a very rare visitor to Britain, but one or two are normally seen here every year. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
