Thus far I have made five visits to the nesting site at East Leake Quarry near Rempstone, Nottinghamshire, UK to see the Bee Eaters which are rare summer visitors. It is so wonderful to be able to see these flying around here in the UK and to have them nesting here too is sensational.  This week (late July) it was announced that all three nests at this site now have chicks in them.

My excursions to this nesting site allowed me to take sufficient photographs, using my Canon digital zoom camera, to compose this second acrylic painting.  For this painting, I have used Winsor & Newton acrylic paint which has great pigment and really brings out the colours of these magnificent birds.  There will only be 150 limited edition prints offered in this particular format (stretched canvas).
