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).

The first Goldcrests of the autumn were see-seeing through the garden this morning.  In the evening a phone call from Keith set off a mass scramble, as a Fea's Petrel had been reported flying north from Lowestoft at 6pm.  Alas despite watching from 6.15 to 7.30 it was not seen here.
