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).
"Brown" Chiffchaff seen by the Hermanus this morning. It did have a strong buff wash round the vent but also, when seen closely and in good light, there was an olive tinge to the upperparts so may not have been a classic tristis. I couldn't see any yellow or grey tones anywhere.
In the afternoon a Woodcock flushed off the North Dunes.
