Very interesting. I didn't hear anything over Sheringham during the hours of darkness, although there was a small flock very low, but still only barely discernible, around 10am. I have observed this in the past over the town, going on for hours, and I assumed it was the same flock circling... -

Thank you, Paul and Richard, for your regular input. There are still some of us long-standing Bird Forum members who check in daily for the latest news! -

High tides are pretty low (if that makes sense!), at least for the first few days of the week. -

It's always worth turning off the A149 at Harbour Way, Brancaster Staithe. You can view from the car if you wish, and should get Barwit and Grey Plover amongst the commoner waders. There's been a Red-necked Grebe there over the winter which may not have moved on yet. I've also seen Red-breasted... -

Great read as always, Steve! Swallows are amongst my favourite birds, and I have yet to see a Red-rumped, so I might try for it today. -

Strangely enough I was thinking of asking the same question just a couple of days ago. My wife and I were sitting at Burnham Overy Staithe as dusk approached and waves of starlings were speeding through in a westerly direction and we were wondering where they were aiming for - is there a roost... -

I am noticing some new locations mentioned on BG at the Cley reserve e.g. Babcock Hide and Watling Water. Are these in the newly acquired section towards Salthouse? Nigel -

I notice I have been honoured in having my name associated with some future storm. Don't know what I have done to merit that! Nigel -

Your experience was evidently similar to mine. Brief and not particularly satisfying views in general. Thankfully the RFB (crosstracks one, not the drinking pool one which hadn't yet been seen last Wednesday when I was there) showed itself on a branch out in the open in a moment of sunshine to... -

Sounds like a brilliant day, Nick! How often would you see a list like that in one day? Just wondering - of the rarer birds at Wells, did any of them give you views of more than a few seconds? Nigel -

Having said that, I think it's true to say that, apart from falls of goldcrests and thrushes, there doesn't seem to be have been much in the way of new rarities for two or three days. The current ones have been around for several days, perhaps because of the constant run of cloudy nights. Maybe... -

Jim, this might indicate why north has been better: http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=4.17,53.22,2048 Today the chart is showing some north-easterlies heading for the east coast. However, notice the north-north-easterlies coming in over the Wash. For much of... -

I'm pretty sure it's coins only. Also credit/debit cards - although the other day I got stuck behind a gentleman who tried one card after another at L A Drive and, although the PIN was accepted, the payment was repeatedly declined. -

Just a thought. The BRW is no more than around 100yds from the Wells beach car park. Depending on the time/money(!) you have available it might be worth relocating to L A Drive after you've seen it, walking back for the other goodies, and then continuing west along the Holkham stretch. Nigel -

How heartily I agree with your eloquent eulogy for a lost friend. I've been thinking the same recently, but especially this last week. Look at the reports over the last few days, or just today's from Holkham/Wells. Multiple RFBs and Pallas's (imagine the stir that would have caused not too many... -

The shrike reported at Beeston Bump was a Great Grey. The pit is at the foot of the bump. Park at the end of Nelson Road, walk down the track and take the first path left after the houses. The Isabelline is on Beeston Common, directions as given by Graeme. It's very easy to find - if it's still... -

That was it, James. Many thanks! Four years ago, almost to the day - how time flies. Nigel -

Hi Lee, The crosstracks are, at a guess, somewhere in the region of a mile west of Lady Ann's Drive, well past the estate houses which you walk right by on your left, and at a point where it is pretty obvious that another track crosses the main track. If you're hoping to see the RFB, I was... -

I went to view this spectacle on Tuesday and have become addicted, so I've been back each evening since. I would say that an estimate of upwards of 20,000 birds might not be too far from the mark. As John says the flocks are quite widely separated, ranging from a point somewhat to the east of...
