    Norfolk birding

    The old Infocus building is now extended and is a holiday rental but part of the planning conditions was that the retail space was retained to provide jobs (!) Currently available to let if you fancy running a small shop in Titchwell. Rose-coloured starling present all week so far, check power...

    Norfolk birding

    Rose coloured starling in my garden this afternoon for a few minutes. Had a bath and a snack on our feeders and left to the west. Poor record shot through dirty window! As a not very dedicated birder what's the current best way to report rarity sightings in Norfolk? I see there is a Montagu's...

    Aurora borealis Not strictly birding of course but in case you have missed the news a large Coronal Mass Ejection from sun spot AR1944 on Tuesday might produce the best Northern Lights for many years tonight (Thursday) - worth a look from a really dark part of the Norfolk coast if the sky is...

    Lovely sunset over Titchwell. 16+ Avocet on fresh marsh, Golden Plover flock, 2+ Pintail, 6+ Marsh Harriers in to roost near the dead trees - we were pleased to see them after the reports of some roost areas being abandoned following inundation during the recent tidal surge. - Alan

    Humpback , Norfolk

    Scroby Dick and friends Norwich Evening News yesterday (20/11) had a feature on the whale sightings. There is a suggestion that there might be more than one in several recent articles...

    Not strictly birding related but for those who bird by bus in this area you might want to sign the CoastHopper petition on www.change.org. Search for "coasthopper". Alan

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Just to add to the info on clouded yellows in this area, they seem drawn to the HLS planting scheme along field boundaries bordering the coast path east of the barns. Alan

    Gipsy Lane, Titchwell Further to my earlier post where the closure was less obstructive and more informative, the path is now properly closed at both ends. More news as it happens! Alan

    Norfolk birding

    Nicely marked male stonechat in bushes between beach road and Brancaster golf club practice area this morning, appeared to be on his own. Anyone in this area might note that although Gipsy Lane between Titchwell and Brancaster has big signs indicating a long closure, I understand this is just...

    Injury? Ringtail to roost on Thursday evening was trailing/dangling right leg as it came over the Fen hide - anyone seen this? Maybe got nipped by a vole? About a year ago a superb male hen harrier was going through a starling roost in the reeds in front of the Fen hide for several evenings...

    The A149 through Titchwell is clear if not dry. North and west of Fakenham seems pretty much OK right now. uPVC door engineer did King's Lynn to Brancaster in 35 minutes (twice! don't ask). A trip to Norwich (unavoidable) yesterday morning was tricky (20-30mph) from Fakenham to Norwich along the...

    Norfolk birding

    Although Titchwell has had about 3 or 4 inches of snow, it is now thawing and I can hear trees dripping if I put my head out of our front door. (We are on the main road) It is likely to be a couple of degrees colder towards King's Lynn, somewhere near Wolferton often being the coldest on my...

    Single bird seen in Titchwell village twice in the last three weeks, possibly juvenile or female as no distinct neck ring. I have a record shot taken of it on our garden fence through my 'scope so apologies for the quality. Alan

    If the red kites don't clear up the road kill then King's Lynn and West Norfolk District Council will cremate them on the basis that they might be a health hazzard! http://www.west-norfolk.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=21512#deadanimals
