A brief seawatch this evening produced two firsts for the Autumn - three Brent Geese going north and a Snow Bunting on the beach. This morning near the Totem Pole bushes Pete caught a brief view of a rapid flyby Cuckoo, which changed into a Hobby before settling down as a small Kestrel which bombed through with a weird flight action, straight inland. If a Lesser Kestrel is found tomorrow in the West Midlands he will certainly have it on his list...Sean.
Hobby by carpark, Wheatear Tim.
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).
