    Norfolk birding

    Two visits to the saltmarsh and marshes at Burnham Deepdale recently have been productive. My first visit last Thursday held 2 Spoonbill, 4 Common Sand, Greenshank, Blackwit and Bearded Tits at the pool at Deepdale Marsh. Yesterday produced 3 different Spoonbills on the marsh (2 juvs and an...

    Norwich Birding

    A Spotted Flycatcher at Costessey House Private Estate this evening, in bushes at the back of the paddocks. It was the highlight of quite a productive day on site, which also included 2 Nuthatches, 2 Kingfishers and a Little Egret. On the subject of Buzzards, there is a pair over towards Low...

    Norwich Birding

    A decent month on the patch came to a close today with a single Golden Plover heading east over Costessey Marsh this evening, a much appreciated patch first. Little Owl and Hobby have been around, whilst early in the month a flyover Green Sandpiper, Reed Warbler and Treecreeper were all good...

    Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire

    Cheers everyone for the good luck wishes. I am moving for uni Delia, whilst rest of family is moving to Glasgow. As you and Ian have said, the Edinburgh birding scene should be fantastic as well; looking forward to integrating into that. It's crossed my mind that I might need to do a round of...

    Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire

    Haven't posted here in a long while. It will be my last as well, as I am leaving the Aberdeen area permanently in a couple of weeks time, to Edinburgh for uni in the autumn and prior to that Glasgow. The birding throughout the year, and particularly the spring has been a fitting farewell...

    Norfolk mammals

    Continuing on the Otter theme, got this shot early morning in late April on the patch, along the Wensum just a couple of minutes walk from the cottage. Joseph

    Norwich Birding

    Hi Chris, have cleared the messages so feel free to re-try. Apparently a few Barn Owl deaths locally recently, so it was relieving to see the darker individual of the pair over the this front lawn this evening when arriving back from the Brecks, confirming that neither of them have been...

    Norfolk birding

    Another Red Kite to report, one over woodland just to the south of Stalham viewed from the A149 yesterday afternoon. Also a single Snow Bunting at Sea Palling along with the juv Glaucous Gull yesterday. Meanwhile on patch a single Jack Snipe yesterday evening has been the highlight of the last...

    Norwich Birding

    A productive week on Costessey House Private Estate has produced very decent numbers of Snipe on the marshes/meadows, with a maximum of around 50 last Friday, including a flock of 32 together over the cottage on the same day (see pic). At least 2 Woodcocks have been around as well, one of which...

    Norwich Birding

    Thanks very much for all the info on these birds, always good to put a record in context. Wonder if they'll end up at Welney? Certainly a moment worth waiting for as you say Nick, easily the best species i've had on site. Gutted to hear that dendroica! The birds weren't moving particularly fast...

    Norfolk birding

    Patch gold today, with these 6 Cranes west over Low Road and Marriot's Way between Drayton and Costessey (Costessey House Private Estate) at 12:15. They lingered for a few minutes but did not land, long enough for some photos. Fantastic birds, which apparently were seen heading over Lynford...
