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).

25 April 2010

A more overcast day today, until late afternoon. Tim saw a Woodlark in the N Dunes this morning, and presumably the same one was later independently found again by Pete further south. Colin, Tim and I looked for it again but dipped. Evidently though there had been a fall of Wheatears, with about 20 flicking about in a small patch of the N Dunes just below the Warren. There was also a Sedge Warbler near the Chalet Park and Pete had a Hobby as he was digging up Rhododendrons. Tim saw the year's first Little Terns yesterday, and some Bar-tailed Godwits. Sean

Also seen today were single Black Redstarts in the South Dunes and the Village, a Ring Ouzel in the South Dunes and six Yellow Wagtails down Low Road. Tim also found a Tree Pipit on the N Dunes & 3 Lesser Whitethroats on the S Dunes bank. Peter
