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).

They're Back ! Part 2

Yes, after an absence of several weeks it was good to see several Black-headed Gulls back in the Parish. In fact there were 28 altogether, all moving south but appearing to have initially arrived from more of a north-westerly inland direction so it is possible they may have been visiting from a nearby colony. However, as the majority were 1st Summers, I prefer to think they were genuine migrants but who can tell with this enigmatic species?
