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).

28 September 2010

Early morning visit to the North Dunes revealed lesser numbers of Robins and a few Song Thrushes. Also two Ring Ouzels, ten Bramblings, lots of Siskins and Reed Buntings. A fine ringtail Hen Harrier also present. The only Common Redstart seen was in Sean's garden.

The evening produced two more Redstarts in the N Dunes but I spent most of my time on a wild bunting chase. It turned out to be a Reed.  The redstart in my garden hurts - I need to put up higher fences...
