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).

8th April 2013

Well, it's happened again!  Years can go by without a patch tick and then you get two in three days.  Today it was the turn of a Goshawk to finally make it onto my Winterton list.  A few years ago Winterton became one of those places where it was alleged that if you hung around long enough and stared at the sky over the woods eventually you would see a Goshawk.  Many were duly rewarded but many also (including myself) never quite got satisfactory views.  There wasn't much doubt about the big streaky monster today so onto the list it goes.

Also today 2 Barn Owls and 2 Short-eared Owls.
