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).

This Red-backed Shrike was in the valley today. Also a Greenshank flew past, and a Hobby was over the village.

The Wryneck was seen again this morning (and yesterday) although fellow Collective members seem not to have had much luck so far.

A lovely and very obliging Wryneck in the Valley this morning. The finders kindly allowed me to look through their scope allowing amazing close up views of the tongue disappearing into a crack in a branch then coming out with a spider on the end!
