    Moray birding

    Hi all I'm in Speyside from 1st May for a week & hoping to vist Portsoy for WB Diver & Brora for Harlequin (I know this is not Moray!), but while in these areas, I was wondering if there were any spots nearby you might recommend for Black Guillemot & Puffin. Many thanks Geoff

    Tweets & Vodafone Hi Stew Afraid Vodafone have pulled the plug on twitter. I phone Vodafone this morning and their Customer Support person had no idea that they had done this, suggesting my settings were at fault. Later I discovered (via the twitter app on my mobile) that loads of others had...

    GW Egret Surlingham Hi Jim I received a tweet early afternoon from Chris Mutimer of the Lowestoft area regarding the GW Egret, so presume Chris was the finder (or one of them) Cheers Geoff

    Owls Hi all Wouldn't you know it, you wait for ages, then just like buses, a whole bunch come along together. Today I saw 4 Barn Owls, 2 around Burnham Norton & 2 at Thornham. I knew if I posted I hadn't seen any it might do the trick!!! But checking back through the last couple of years, I...

    Owls Hi Jim Funny you say that, I am still waiting for my first owl of the year. I'm not seeing Barn Owls (or any others come to that) in places I regularly have seen them in the past. I went to Rockland today and walked down to the river in the late afternoon leaving about 17:15 and saw...

    Norwich Birding

    Mousehold & Wood Warblers Quite correct Stuart, my last record was May '93 but the odd bird may have turned up subsequently that I didn't see. If I recall there was a site in Thorpe St Andrew as well around the same time, but I cant recall the name but it backed on to Pilling Park.

    Paston Swift I can't let this go unchallenged, I was was of the two birders who saw a swift with a white rump at Paston on 27th Oct, our views were not good enough to be sure of the identity of this bird, but it most suredly was NOT a House Martin. I don't know where this rumour started, this...

    At 12:00 John Charman & I were on the footpath west of bacton Gas Terminal looking at Lapland Buntings, when I spotted a swift over the cliff edge heading NW, basically toward us. We were 250-300m from the cliff edge finding it really hard to stand still in the buffetting wind. We noted a...

    Edgefield Red Kite Just after lunch today, I saw a Red Kite in a field behind Edgefield Tip. It was on the ground and appeared to be either sun bathing or anting (it was about 300m away, so not able to see much detail). It lay with wings outstreched for a fair bit of the 30 minutes or so I was...

    Hi Pete Heard yesterday (Tuesday) evening. It didn't really seem too committed to singing just a few short bursts & plenty of growls. Still in the scrub level with the Broadland Boat club. Cheers Geoff

    Burnham Norton Interesting bunch of raptors when we stopped today at Burnham Norton c12:30 for lunch. First, as we drove into the car park by the marsh, a Barn Owl drifted by, followed moments later by a Kestrel. A Sparrowhawk put in a brief appearance. Then the star turn: a Peregrine spooked...

    Hi Paul I would like to thank you for your continued contributions to this forum, much appreciated, and would add that I would like to see other RSPB reserves make similar contributions to their county forums ... perhaps you could encourage them! It's good to see a report that is just about...

    Blakeney Point Hmm, what is shown on streetmap.co.uk as Long Hills I know as Yankee Ridge. I understood Long Hills were on the north edge of the peninsular west of the Hood where it broadens out. Am I alone in this ? Or do others have a similar understanding of the geography there ? Was it...

    Red Kites It seems to have been a good day for Red Kites: while on the bus to Norwich, I had one over the roundabout in Poringland at 14:10 & a second in Trowse over the green at 14:20. Finally on the bus back to Poringland at 17:25 a Common Buzzard over the Tas Valley at Caister St Edmund. All...
