    I thnk you'll find most of the RSPB reserve individual pages on their website have links to a decent enough map with info like this one

    There has been a big and unusual movement of Jays through the Vistula Spit, Poland in the last 10 or so days. maybe this hints of the origin?

    What were the times Ray? There was a good movement at Holme NOA and a flock of 28 through Titchwell at 945am Let's hope we get a passage like the one on 6th & 7th Oct 2012 when over 1200 went through Hunstanton. It was awesome!

    O2 is hopeless from Brancaster to Old Hunstanton, and along most of the promenade from Hunstanton to Heacham. Titchwell a particular black spot :-(

    Well done Connor, for following up on your gut first impressions and just reward for all those hundreds of hours you have put in at the site!

    Hoping for some action tomorrow. Fine clear weather this evening over Scandinavia with SE airflow. N & NE airflow overnight in our bit of North sea with rain from dawn. Fingers crossed!

    Hi Derek, every time I open and read my copy of Birds magazine, I am astounded at all the fantastic examples of what the RSPB does with our subscriptions to protect endangered birds, wildlife and habitats in this country and around the world. For non-members (shame on you!) who don't get the...

    After what you saw and 'fondled' in Israel, surprised that lot wasn't just a bit run of the mill!!

    Absolutely AWESOME Andy and i had to go to Fakenham and missed the lot |>:(| Were they in/off from the north or did they come from the east and switch south when they saw the bend in the coast?

    Not only adjusted but changed completely, let's hope they change it again.

    It could all change but we could get a decent northerly next Thursday. The low causing these winds stalls and deepens over the North Sea next Wednesday. It's a similar scenario to last Mondays low, though at the moment the maps show it too far north to give us the 'over the top' easterlies in...

    I had an interesting first hour after dawn sea watching today at Holme in the shapes of 613 gannets west. These were the birds that close enough to positively identify. There were many more distant shapes heading west and at least another 100 actively fishing in the distant turbines. There must...

    Yesterday, I managed 7 Arctic skuas, 18 distant skua sp (probably all Arctics), 1 summer plumage RTDiver and 1 Manx off Titchwell in 2.5 hrs. Interestingly, in around 15 hours sea watching last Thursday, Friday and yesterday I have only seen one kittiwake and two auk sp.

    Hi Nick Friday first light got to be worth a shot, maybe birds re orienting after the blow. Good luck. Currently (7am Thurs) according to wave buoy, winds in the northern North Sea are 38 - 42 mph N to NW and heading our way. They will moderate a little by the time they get to us, there is also...
