Norfolk quarry hosts breeding Bee-eaters
Bee-eaters have been found breeding in a quarry in the north east Norfolk village of Trimingham - in a first for the county
On Sunday 5th June three birds were birds were reported on wires at Beacon Hill, where later in the day a fourth bird was seen. It soon became apparent that the birds were looking like they may breed so efforts were made by the RSPB, local birders and the North East Norfolk Bird Club to set up a view point.
The viewpoint and car park is just east of the quarry off Gimmingham Road, just to the south east of Trimingham. There is a £5 car parking charge, with money going to the landowner and to the RSPB who will use it to pay for wardening of the site. The viewpoint is open 7am – 7pm, until the birds depart. There is strictly no access to the quarry. There are currently up to six birds present.
