Every year at the beginning of may, the bee eaters reappear among the dunes in the wild-life refuge at Orbetello. These birds with their colorful plumage arrive in Italy after a journey of almost 10,000 kilometers from the grasslands of Central Africa. A few days after their arrival they pair off and begin building their nests: tunnels several meters long, dug out with their beaks. This home protects the birds from all predators except snakes. The documentary shows an attack by a snake and the collective defense strategy devised by the bee eaters to chase away the aggressor. The bords perform nose dives and swooping assaults with their beaks wide open and succeed in giving the snake the worst of it.
