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).

Patch Map Update
I got some feedback from the Committee about my previous patch map and consequently have amended it to include the crucial cowshed on the Holmes Road, the hedge in the middle of the corn patch on the western edge of the parish, half of the chalet park, and Bullfinch corner. By the entirely honorable method of tracing around the edges of the Pallid track footpath rather than including the fields next to it (which can be seen from the patch, so we can include birds on them, but which are out of bounds to walkers) we have technically kept our patch well below the stipulated 3km2 max - it is now coming in at 2.706km2. I cannot state with absolute certainty that this will be the final instar of our patchmap, but this version should really allow us to sock it to the competition.
