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).

An early morning vigil at the north end of the parish (at one point involving a flock of 3 spotters) produced a single Ring Ouzel, 3 Wheatears, a few Whimbrel, 3 Gannets and a Kittiwake. Visible migration was very light in the strong north-north-easterly winds.

The Woodchat Shrike showed well between 6pm and 7pm in the valley in between sheltering from squalls and dogs.
