In the recent report from the Canberra birdwatchers report (fortnight ending Feb 20) Ian Fraser comments on how scarce Rainbow bee-eaters had been recently. I've noticed very few of them here in Murray Bridge this summer. A few individuals were seen or heard in the spring and I saw 9 on the 8th of Feb on the outskirts of the town. In years gone by they have been regular visitors, some summers they have been resident and breeding. Some years ago a pair nested in the roadside bank less than 100 metres from our home (we live on the western edge of the city). Have they been scarce elsewhere? Trevor Hampel |
