Eyebrowed Thrush in Norolk (1 Viewer)

[KenM]

Just a suggestion...Don't know how much balloon hire is these days?..don't know if current weather conditions/regulations would allow?...But if enough interested parties contributed to the ''Hunstanton round the houses at low level fund''. Then drawing lots..for the lucky few! (4-5 in a basket..dunno?) It might produce something...Hot Air?...perhaps matching this claim

My vote is hoax, saves me taking the day off tomorrow.

Can't grip me that easily. Purely 'need' it for the Norfolk list old boy, seen plenty on the Isles

From one GH to another.

No sure about you lot in Norfolk, but none of the trees in my garden have buds like those at the mo...

Couple previous tweets FYI:

@BirdGuides 5 people have seen the bird.3 of them are birders including myself, and the owner and his wife.I am not Norfolk birder

@BirdGuides I come from Lincolnshire

Isn't Lincs home to the Short-toed Eagle hoaxer?

Just relaying info - I am not prejudging the record :t:

Cheers,

Jonny

 

[midlands birder]

I dont know whether its my crap skills, but there doesnt seem to be any data on the Exif other than that the image was created today

[Barry Hunt]

Same here and the file name is very odd for a home taken photo

 

[steve wiltshire]

I was hoping I'd be able to see Hunstanton lighthouse in the background and the bird would be holding a copy of yesterdays newspaper in its bill.

Got down to page 70 on Google Images and couldnt find one that matched. However the bird was not meant to have been seen today so why is today's date on the ExiF?

Much like David Brent, I think all photos of 'birds' should come with a copy of today's newspaper.

Remember the Dusky Thrush from Manchester, similar situation?

Or have all birder's been blocked from twitter so we cant see the Exif data to the photo?

Not especially: that bird was reported to the county recorder by someone giving their name, and willing to provide details (e.g. their address!) for verification. Maybe all of this will come to light in due course related to this record, but somehow I doubt it.

Sorry to disappoint you Morg but it ain't me

First eliminate all the birders on this list who are well known responsible birders, then when most have been whittled down, the others could maybe reply justifying why they are not the hoaxer. think Norgate is top of the list with the innocent ' I'm going to be looking for this bird' yarn but he admitted to me personally the other day he has no morals, proper X Files this - everyone's a suspect.

Can't access the twitter pic....so any chance that some kind soul could 'lift it' and bang it on here...?
