European bee-eaters have become established visitors in Norfolk because of global warming

European bee-eaters are becoming regular visitors to the UK, as global warming continues.

I have been lucky enough to see these birds in Spain, but it is now relatively likely that they will become a permanent presence

This year these bee-eaters bred in Norfolk, and have the last few years, though so far have never succeeded. These colourful birds are just one more sign that global warming is real and is having significant effects.

Alongside our members area, we have a second area aimed at all readers of the site (Ambassador supporters). If you are like me, you are worried about the state of the natural world, and love seeing wildlife (however often you do) - and would like to do your bit to save as much of the natural world as you can, this is for you. We can't visit every wilderness on the planet, yet it is a far smaller task for all the readers of this site - particularly as it grows. Alternatively, if you are simply a regular reader, and we bring you value, help us survive long-term - Become an ambassador supporter (small fee), to help the running of the site, and towards our goals - along with many perks including a members area.
