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).

9 September 2012

A quite exciting day morning with a Red-backed Shrike in the North Dunes, along with a Redstart and quite a lot of Whinchats. Then in the afternoon Ryan, our new neighbour down in Hemsby, found an Ortolan Bunting in the South Dunes. Colin and I rushed down for it, but it proved to be pretty flightly and we only had a rather brief, though close, view of it before it flew high into a tree on the bank and then, presumably, off on its way. Well done to Ryan on his first decent bird on his new patch, and thanks for getting the news to us so quickly - it was a patch tick for both of us.
