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).

1 Jan 2013

The big patch effort kicked off today with some half-hearted attempts by members of the collective to get off to a flying start. Little Egret and Hen Harrier seem to have been the top birds of the day, although not all news is in as I write... Outrageously Ryan has told us we have to all have separate lists, which goes entirely against our collective spirit, but what can you expect in this acquisitive, individualistic era. Worse still, it means we will all have to leg it to see the birds Pete and Tim find, rather than stick to our preferred method of sitting at home and relying on them to preserve the patch reputation. Bah!
