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).

26 April 2013

A flabbergasting number of Wheatears have made landfall today all along the east Suffolk and Norfolk coast.  In an hour this evening in the North Dunes I counted over 100, between the totem pole bushes and the top of the Warren.  Most were sitting absolutely still, dotting the landscape wherever you looked.  They flew strongly on approach though, so I don't think they are overly exhausted.  Two Curlews also flew south.
