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).

11 March 2010

Twelve yellow billed swans, which I thought looked like Whooper Swans, flew northwest over the North Dunes at 6pm this evening, then turned round and came back south along the coast.  I thought Pete would be able to confirm them by applying his new swan flight direction ID criteria, but he was not able to (due to the unexpected change of direction, I believe) so I'd better put them down as Bewpers (or Whoopwicks).
