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).

Boundary Issues

With reference to recent blogs concerning our recording area there is a precedent for the inclusion of East Somerton in the collective patch -
White's Directory of Norfolk (1836) quotes:
East Somerton is a small but picturesque hamlet and parish, now united with Winterton (not you will note with West Somerton) its own church having long been an ivy-covered ruin.

I have to admit that this change would allow me to include Kingfisher on my list as well as the aforementioned White-spotted Bluethroat
