just read that there are 2 pairs of Beeeaters nesting in Cumbria 

They are residing at Hanson UK’s Low Gelt sand quarry near Brampton in the North Pennines, where they have made nests by burrowing tunnels in the quarry banks. They were discovered by the quarry’s foreman who noticed the colourful birds flying amongst the site’s colony of nesting sand martins.

Any of our Cumbrian members seen them?
