    Norfolk birding

    Here is a video of the bird this afternoon, a nice bird with a well behaved crowed and many non-birders showing interest, and seeming very please once they also saw the bird. Rose-coloured Starling

    Roller Was in the trees both sides of the B1149 this morning, was lucky enough to be fairly close when Sue Bryan spotted the bird on the tree behind me on the West side of the B1149. Managed to get this video of such a fantastic bird. Roller Video

    Saw a female Montagu's over fields NW of Rollesby at about 5.20, could easily be the same bird. Just before this a Black Tern was near to the road on Ormesby Broad.

    I saw that bird also and then found this interesting reading regarding Trumpeter (Tundra) Swan http://www.ravenidiot.com/docs/morph_ynp_04.pdf I guess the same applies to the European race. I did read another article about large flocks in Holland of about 2000 birds would usually have one with...

    Saw this bird on Tuesday, it didn't call and wasn't very showy at the time. It was in the hedgerow along the road halfway to the roost.

    Was still there at 6pm but about 1/4 mile south of the Nelson Head track and on the main path near the first set of steps up into the dunes

    Norfolk birding

    I was a few minutes late this morning missing the bird, but if anybody was there and got a picture I would love it if you could email it to me. I then headed north up to Martham for a scan but had no luck. I did think yesterday when the bird first flew over the car that it look very pale...

    White-tailed? Eagle I saw this bird whilst driving home along the A149 just south of Ormesby St Margaret, in the distance I originally thought I was watching two Jackdaws mobbing a Buzzard, as I got closer I realised that the scale was all wrong, the long heavy wingflaps of the larger bird...

    Thanks Penny That is odd that you had none as we were also there only a little after 10am (maybe 10.30 wasn't really clock watching), the flock we had was halfway down the road if you turned right out of the car park hide.

    Managed to clock up 114 species today of interest there were at least 40 Tree Sparrow around the Flitcham Area, and a flock of 20 Whooper and 3 Bewicks near Ludham. The roost at Hickling was good also with 13 Crane, 2 Hen Harrier (1male), Merlin and about 40 Marsh Harrier

    Are you referring to the second bird at Cley which was reported as a Little Stint. I saw this briefly on Tuesday but as I was in a rush and using someone else’s optics I didn’t get a good look. But from what I saw it was like the (what was then) Semipalmated Sand but was in general a fraction...

    From where we stood, walk towards the church and turn left towards the field just past the bungalow. The Warbler was in the pine tree in the NE corner in the garden of 'Thatched' viewed from the edge of the field it was there for at least 35mins on and off in the pine trees from 8.05 (Thursday)

    I did look up the road for you but you'd already gone when it was refound at 8.05, It showed well for a while before flying into the Garden. Although it hasn't been seen today (yet) it wouldn't surprise me if its still in the Garden somewhere.

    Cattle Egret If the bird is in the same field as today, good views can be obtained from the back of the Wiveton Hall Farm Cafe, and they make good cake also. http://youtu.be/rg-XDLF2eRU

    Grey Catbird? Before I start, this is at a private sight a few miles north of Norwich. A friend of mine yesterday heard a loud meowing call from some bushes, this meowing then moved as a Grey Blackbird sized bird also moved through the bushes. She did not realise that a Catbird made a meowing...

    The Greenish showed less than briefly but was still calling well in the same Holm Oak at 6.20pm this evening. Only one other birder there with me when we saw it in the pouring rain. We stayed until 7.00pm and there was no sign of the Bonelli's although the Greenish called once again at 6.50pm

    I had at least 15 singing Chiffs between Knapton and North Walsham on 19th March, but I haven't seen (or heard) a single bird anywhere else.
