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).

14 October 2012

It felt like proper autumn today and there were more birds around, in between bouts of heavy rain.  A fair few Song Thrushes were moving through, and various members of our merry band connected with Firecrest and Brambling in the morning. Lots of Goldcrests around too.  There were a couple of Lesser Whitethroats playing around together below the Hermanus, allowing the odd photo.  Feels like there might be more out there to find, but it's raining heavily again at the moment.

Very nice photo! Did you consider any of the eastern forms for this? I make no claims to be either knowledgeable or experienced with them but this looks quite interesting to me. Could it be minula??
