David the paper is a PHd research paper by Jenny Gill and its held in the UEA Norwich Libary.
So, some say that 31st December 2009 is the end of the decade. So what was the best Norfolk bird or birding moment in the noughties?
Black Lark?

On a different note I'd also be interested to know when the latest ever Sooty Shear in Norfolk was recorded - why wasn't the one today off Argentina?
Moss Taylor notes 3 mid-winter records in Birds Of Norfolk (so up to 1998), 23rd Dec 1986 (Salthouse), 30th Dec 1989 (Hunstanton & Blakeney) and 14th Jan 1987 (Cley). I wouldn't like to hazard a guess as to why they weren't in Argentina though!
Just seen several flocks of 20+ Skylarks moving west along the seafront at Sheringham- flying !
The snow had settled by the morning. Unlike other parts of the county, we'd previously only had showers, which didn't stick.
There doesn't seem to be much moving on the sea. However, I'm only looking sporadically, next to a warm radiator, rather than from the bitterly cold shelter.
Lapwings, too.
