My own goals
• Know and study the colonies of bee-eaters in an area of Fluvià’s river.
• Know the ethology and the systematic of this specie.
• Contrast and relate my conclusions and observations with the preavious searched theory.

Practical conclusions
• Bee-eaters adapt very good to human activity or presence.
• Lot of insects to feed them and their chicks water very clean.
• Six chicks for one pair of them. (x3 first population)
Great reproduction!

• They usually stay in dead trees locate their insects to eat.
• Diet:
- Dragonflies 70% (very near the river and they abound).
- Bees 20%.
- Other types of insects 10% (beetles, beautiflies...).
