Ornithological excursion: European Bee-eater
Overview
Intro
The exotic colourful plumage of the European bee-eaters is very striking and their typical call can be heard from far away.
They belong to the most popular and rewarding targets for observation in Leukerfeld, particularly because they can be regularly seen from a short distance. European bee-eaters breed in colonies in nests they have burrowed themselves, often in sandpits or in steep banks above water. They are specialists in catching flying insects, and under ideal observation conditions you can sometimes hear the snapping of their beaks if they prey has just managed to escape.
The excursion is conducted in German and French.
Number of participants is limited.
