Bees for tea, anyone?


It's cold and miserable in Glasgow, snowy in the Alpujarra and the news is profoundly depressing this weekend. But as Shelley puts it, "If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?" We've taken a booking for May 2009, by which time some of these colourful little fellows should be back in our part of Spain. Bee-eaters, abejarucos, are regular visitors to the Alpujarra, albeit not in great numbers. I've only seen them once, but you never forget seeing birds as colourful as jockeys.
