They sound like some sort of bucolic nymph scoffing the favoured insects of the goddess on an urn in a dusty museum storeroom ... fortunately, they are so much more!!
Andalucia's totem avian.... heralds of spring....
They swoop like multiple multi-coloured darts on the wing .. nest in burrows in sandy banks .. and they sound of their song.. oh boy... like water burbling and babbling through the air.. bubbles of it rise through blood and lymph and bone when they sing.
They just got back from wintering in Africa.. the joy of their stories of casbah's, oasis, sands and arid earth bring the firey sun on towards zenith.
Gee.. you wanna hear it you'll just have to come!

:-) and here I was thinking it was a band or another name for helicopters,or maybe some kind of science fiction thing that could get pretty serious under the right conditions. Now I know it is a bird,and birds are pretty lovely except the Alfred Hitchcock ones,or maybe they were just misunderstood ? ;-)
Thank you for clearing this up :-)
hmm.. lynx and the bee-eaters… maybe i should recusitate that old 'thrash' 4-track recording??! … :-)
Aw Lynx aren't they pretty, so when you hear them you know summer has arrived! For us here we note when we hear the first cuckoo, just two clear notes repeated and we know winter is over. Thank you for this. Hugs.
