More footage of the rare Bee-Eater birds on the Wight

Readers will remember the previous reports through OnTheWight of the rare Bee-Eater birds spotted on the Isle of Wight earlier this summer.

News came out from the RSPB in August that four chicks had hatched on the National Trust’s Wydcombe Estate just outside Niton.

Twitchers from around the country descended on the Island to catch a glimpse of the birds.

If you haven’t had a chance to yourself, you can see the beautiful birds on this video released by the National Trust.
