A superb flock of 13 Bee-eaters lingered for all to enjoy at Hempstead today (the Eccles on Sea Hempstead, not the Holt one!) (More pics on my cleybirds.com.)

1870 badgers killed in our 1st cull year. 210,000 badgers, half estimated population now dead. No change in bTB. Join us as on patrols in September! Most badgers are killed by free shooting, so night patrol (all legal) are essential to save lives. #EndTheCull #EnoughIsEnough
