I found these little ones hiding in a tree at the back of the farm. I think I surprised the two below. They didn’t seem to be fully awake for their photo!
They weren’t really energetic at all! They might not have seen a human before.
I just had to post these new pics.
I think these two are Mr and Mrs Bee-eater.
