I'm A King Bee - Slim Harpo

Wet, Dull, Windy, Cold, but enough about me as the weather was even worse, it must be Flaming June! Having said that, by mid-morning there was hardly a cloud in the sky, the sun was shining and the wind had moderated, positively Spring-like, but my decision to stay at home had already been made. A pile of unopened mail, a number of brochures and the Portland Bird Observatory Annual Report for 2011 to read, some progress on photograph editing and the start of formulating a plan for my next adventure were all worthy of some close attention. So, once again, we rely on the photo archive and one of the most stunning avian families, the Bee-eaters from various locations around the world.
