I did see these regularly when holidaying in Corfu, first time I saw one I was convinced it was a hummingbird.

No pics, but those have been around here in Kent for a while.

I can assure you they’re bloody loud as well…had a couple fly in through windows and luckily fly straight back out.

They’re mahoosive.

The first time I ever saw one was in Kefalonia, but I also saw 2 (over a couple of weeks) in Lancashire, 8 or 9 years ago.

Yes, I've managed to get pics in Brittany before now, stunning little critters
Seen a couple in the Midlands over the last few years but not when I've had a camera to hand unfortunately.
