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).

1 January 2010

My family's customary New Year's Day walk down the valley to the bright lights and chipfat aroma of Hemsby, in order to waste £1 per child on the shove 2p piece machines resulted in a selection of the commoner parish birds to get the year list of to a fair start.  A lovely male Eider flying north was the nicest sight.  A Red-legged Partridge standing on top of the shed this morning was a good garden year tick too.
