Welcome

You have found us. We are a secret group of crack birders who have turned our backs on the machismo, corruption, and backstabbing greed that constitute today's birding scene, and have united together to follow the True Path of non-competitive, collaborative and generally lovely birding-as-meditation-and-spiritual-growth. Consequently, we never see anything. Birds that land right in front of our noses, and which we can identify with our observer book, are written about here. Oh, and they have to be seen in - or from - the parish of Winterton-on-Sea, Norfolk, or on the walk round past East Somerton Church ruins and up the concrete track to Winterton Holmes (because it's a nice walk which we all do).

21st December 2009

Snow everywhere for the last two days and the frozen ground is making Snipe appear in odd places everywhere.  This afternoon, for example, one walking about near the White House Nursery, and one flying through the children's playground; they are popping up all over the place in their search for some non-frozen ground to feed in.  Pete had loads on Sunday, as well as a Water Rail walk across the Holmes Road, presumably similarly on the search for accessible wet habitat.

A Great Northern Diver flew south past the cafe at 2pm.  The private site held another Tree Sparrow.
