Can`t see how you come to that conclusion from Willowgrouse`s post Fred, perhaps if you got out of the village a bit more often you might see that, hyperbole aside, he`s not too far from the truth of how things really work in the wider world. No doubt you also have your own opinions though, as... -

Fantastic day of viz-mig, with plenty of birds both arriving & departing. Started just after dawn on the clifftop near Weybourne, where there was a steady flow of birds moving west with a few goodies sprinkled amongst them. Sandwich Terns now seem to be back in numbers offshore & Hirundines of... -

Began the day at Cromer L/H , where things were a bit quieter than last weekend. 46 Redwings off east at dawn was a good start but things never really got going. I also had my first Wheatear (2), Sand Martin (2) & Swallows (9) of the year but unfortunately had to leave shortly after 7. To... -

A frosty dawn start at Cromer lighthouse this morning was fairly lively with plenty of birds on the move, the highlights being a nice male Ring Ousel, 2 Sparrowhawks & a Buzzard east. Had to pack up around 08:30 due to family commitments so no chance of any further raptors. Dont think I`ve ever... -

Spring at last ! ? Having probably had the W.T.Eagle fly over me on the way back from Holt this morning, I decided to try Incleborough Hill for any left over raptor movement. Walking up to the hill there was a Chiffchaff flycatching along the lane, but no singing was heard. On arrival at the... -

Just more Larids for me again today i`m afraid, but pleasant enough, with 60+ Little Gulls east past Sheringham this morning. The majority were adults birds, but interestingly, not a single summer plumaged one amongst them. -

Given the decidedly un-spring like weather today, it was a gull that was the highlight of my mornings birding too, in the form of this rather smart yellow legged [I]argentatus[I] Herring Gull on the beach at Sheringham. Love the Glauc. shot by the way Oliver, as Penny said, very atmospheric. -

Given the clear, still conditions inland, it was no surprise to first hear & then see a group of 16 Whooper Swans heading east along the Wensum valley near Hardingham at lunchtime today. re your skull query John, check this out http://www.skullsite.co.uk/Rat/comrat.htm. -

Hi Steve, interestingly, I saw what was presumably the same birds as you heading purposefully S.S.E. over Wreningham. I wondered if they may have been heading back over to the continent, but presumably all "our" birds move back north through Scotland ? seeing as how they breed in Iceland &... -
