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).

13th May 2011

Friday 13th proved to be very lucky for myself as a charming and confiding Short-toed Lark was watched for five minutes in the hummocky dunes about 300m south of the Beach Cafe. Sadly, it must have soon slipped away as it was not seen again inspite of a couple of Collective members arriving within 10 minutes.

Unfortunately, although this news was phoned in as usual it did not seem to make it onto the various news services. Probably just as well though given its rapid disappearance.

Also a Hobby was seen over the village.

Two Hobbys over the North Dunes in the morning. One definitely seemed to be chasing the other away so maybe it was trying to establish a territory. Also six Golden Plovers on farmland just inland from the dunes.

In the evening Colin found two Spotted Flycatchers in the Valley.
