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).

4 May 2010

Another early morning start for Terry and Tim in marginally better conditions (but still with a moderate north-easterly and the odd shower) produced 2 Hobby, 2 Ring Ouzels, 2 Northern Wheatears, a Common Buzzard, 4 Common Cranes, 2 Yellow Wagtails, 2 Common Terns, 2 Guillemots, a Jay, 3 Swallows, 2 Swifts and a Sand Martin. Linnets were on the move in large numbers - 392 were counted flying north - along with 24 Goldfinches. A singing Reed Warbler was in a ditch along Holmes Road.
