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).

14 June 2011

Another trip out of the parish for five of us this evening, but this time just a quick trip over the border to Horsey to see the wonderfully showy and acrobatic 1st summer male Red-footed Falcon, which enthralled us with stunningly close fly-pasts and somersaulting raids on the poor local dragonflies. Another Marsh Warbler was nearby too, apparently, but we didn't get a chance to look for it, as the falcon was so spectacular.
