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).

The bushes held far fewer birds this morning but luckily interesting things were going on up above.  All heading south were one Grey Wagtail, 12 Jays and three Great Spotted Woodpeckers.  The woodpeckers were in a group, quite high up and virtually over the beach.  It definitely didn't look like a daytrip to Hemsby.
