European bee -eater /Guêpier d’Europe

            European bee-eaters arrive in France with spring.
More than an hour from the house, I like to go and admire them every year: twirling, chasing insects (butterflies, dragonflies, wasps, etc.), in amorous display with offerings, later feeding their young, the spectacle is absolutely beautiful! Well aware of the fragility of these moments because their food source is diminishing with the scarcity of insects and this is very alarming

Les guêpiers européens arrivent en France avec le printemps
A plus d'une heure de la maison, j'aime aller les admirer chaque année : virevoltant, poursuivant les insectes (papillons, libellules, guêpes...), en spectacle amoureux avec des offrandes, puis nourrissant leurs petits, le spectacle est absolument magnifique ! Bien consciente de la fragilité de ces moments car leur source de nourriture diminue avec la raréfaction des insectes et cela est très alarmant !
