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).

26 September 2010

Another seawatch this morning produced a steady trickle of decent birds, although, in a cruel replay of yesterday's Puffin, the best of all, a juv Sabine's Gull, flew by ten minutes before I arrived (in fact there may have been two this morning as Tim saw one which, judging by the timings, couldn't have been the same bird).  Still, excellent views of Sooty Shearwater, Red-necked Grebe and Great Crested Grebe, plus various Little Gulls, Great Skua, Arctic Skua, Gadwall and Bar-tailed Godwits, and a Grey Plover, was good enough for me.
