Bee eater could be a good call for this week. There are a few dotted around the country at the moment. Hope they're twitchable if they do turn up. An Azure Winged Magpie would be nice as well!!!!

Hi Guys,

- Chances are nothing new will turn up (that's why rare birds are rare of course).

However, at this time of year ANYTHING can appear, so it could pay off yet again as reward for those who get out there and put some serious time in, enjoying some decent weather whilst listening and looking for goodies such as Bee-eaters and Woodchats, (both of which have been in Cleveland this last week).

Wouldn't it be great to get a party of Bee-eaters overflying Horwich Moors whilst you are listening to those Quails?

Best Wishes,
Mike

Think thats it ,still we will keep trying our best.
