Bee-eaters

The cricket finished conveniently early in Southampton, allowing Dad and I time to catch a ferry to the Isle of Wight to see the three Bee-eaters, which are nesting in the UK for only the third time! This was the first time we'd ever seen one.

And the day was made even better by an English test win!
