Re: Dark Breasted Barn Owl A group of us found one roosting right on the coastal path at Stiffkey in November. It was definitely a lot darker and mottled around to head. We all agreed that it was different but we were 75% sure but no further conformation came|:(| The bird had been seen coming... -

Highs & Lows What a brilliant year! Did some fantastic birding in Valencia and Tunisia this year. But at home highlights have to be Lesser Grey at Holkham and Little Bittern at Titchwell. Also watching the pair of Montague's Harriers at blahblah mobbing a Red Kite was pretty spectacular... -

I live in Warham and there's been a male Hen Harrier floating around the Iron Age Camp regularly. I walk my dog there each day and he's pretty reliable. Take the hilly road opposite the three horseshoes pub and go to the top of the hill after about 2/3 mile and there's a metal gate on your right... -

Twites have been more or less guaranteed near the camp at Stiffkey for the last few weeks, normally in good flocks. the sparrowhawk at wells normally hunts from the gable on the 'pop in amusements' on the quay. Seen him eating a starling and a turnstone on the bank in the last week from the... -

What a Morning!!! What an excellent morning. Fed the chickens at eight then headed off to Cley. On the way out of Stiffkey, found the Snow Goose in a field of pinks by the bait diggers path. Got rather wet at Walsey Hills and even wetter at Cley. Arrived at Dawkes Hide and got excellent views... -

Had a few hours at Cley over lunchtime and it was deserted!! Only a few mallard and shoveler on the water with several teal. No raptors in sight but i did briefly catch a fem bearded tit zip over. Debated heading to burnham for the snow goose and spoonbill but decided against it. Back to... -

Huge!! I live in Stiffkey in Norfolk, the closest house to the marsh. So my patch is from my back door either left (titchwell) or right (cley) although my favourite bit is heading south to a hill behind the house which is probably 'my patch' -

Boozers! Im the licensee of the Red Lion in Stiffkey and The Golden Fleece in Wells so Cheers!! So any birders must fill me in their day on entry! Although I will say that most of the coastal pubs are great and accommodate twitchers well. The best way to get around though is on the coasthopper... -
