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).

5th April 2011

A quiet seawatch this morning produced only four Eiders and five Curlews south and a single Gannet north. A sense of confusion and self-doubt was finally cleared up this evening when a Chiffchaff and a Willow Warbler were eventually seen side by side in the garden. They had spent the previous 10 minutes mischievously swapping places!
