This afternoon at Holkham - thousands of Common Scooter all going west along horizon past the wind turbines.
Best Wishes Penny:girl:
Could anyone tell me what work the RSPB completed at Titchwell this autumn? I was in Norfolk in February, May and July and had seen that they were planning a big lot of work in the autumn.

Anything known about the RB Goose at Buckenham? Is it with Pinkfeet, or the resdident Barnacles / Canadas?
Long Tailed Skuas
Apparently norfolk is a laughing stock when it comes to the above species, that is why its back as a description species. We see too many of them in autumn compared to any other east coast county. Maybe they just don't realise how good we are at seawatching and the fact that it is possible to id LTS on the horizon without seeing any plumage detail !!
Hi NickThe duck is on wroxham broad if you come into wroxham on the A1151 go over the railway bridge and up to the mini roundabout take the right hand turn and follow the road untill you come to turn off on the left hand side the sign says wroxham broad follow this down to where the road comes to a t junction the road on the right is private but joe public can drive down it to a small car park (pay and display) this is the spot for the duck
I did once ask you at strumpshaw fen for directions to see goshawk at thetford but you said it was a sensitive site and could not tell me how to get there so i hope you are not going to bag the duck for the pot
cheers Nick
Common Scooter - sounds like a throwback to the sixties with mods and rockers descending on seaside venues (the former on scooters for those too young to know) - God, I am old.
Hi all
Could anyone please give me directions to Warham Greens? I know vaguely where it is but not exactly, up in your great county this weekend and might take a spin down one evening to have a look at the roost (if it ever stops raining that is!!)
Many thanks
One of the highlights was the leucistic type Gannet which some 'joker' called as a sooty albatross !! It was a lovely silvery grey colour all over and probably a juv.
If you're happy with your LTS's Stu then count them but re-classing it as a description species is the right thing to do. In my opinion...
