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).

17th October 2010

The day started well with a couple of Fieldfares in the garden. However, the Valley proved fairly mundane (just one Brambling) until a shock encounter - a squealing Water Rail bursting out of the top half of a Holly tree on the bank. We were both equally surprised to see each other and it promtly did a U turn and plunged back into the Brambles!
