Didn't try for photos at Winterton - was too amazed to take my eyes away from the scope!

Certain to be far better but for now, a few record shots of todays Great Shearwater as it passed Waxham this morning. Hell of a buzz!.. #NorfolkBirding
I thought that was you Mark (and Lynnette). Nice to see you over here!
6 Whoopers down the south end at Commissioner's this afternoon
Norwich demo 1pm this Saturday
Slightly more YBWish from the rear but that lovely, distinctive soft shade of green on the back seems very consistent in Hume's.
Both Hume's Leaf warblers are still present on my patch today, within half a mile of each other. Since it was sunny I spent a lot of time trying to photograph them. It's amazingly difficult! I took about 1000 photos and these are a couple of the only half-decent ones. #ukbirding #norfolkbirding
Both Hume's Leaf Warbler still on the patch today. Here are some shots of the second one. Hume's is brilliant species I think - different from YBW in quite a few ways, and such a soft shade of green - I’d like to paint my lounge the same colour 😀. How many must there be here this autumn?
Yes, amazing, and another Dusky/Hume's combo in Caister today. Still can't find a Pallas's this year though...
Hume's Leaf Warbler
You wait 25 years to find your first Hume's Leaf Warbler then they're along like London buses! Found another on the patch today, on other side of village! It's possible it could be the same bird though, as it was blowing a right hoolie where yesterday's was... #ukbirding #norfolkbirding

Great morning on patch - found a Hume's Warbler, v active and calling along a track at the edge of the village. I contacted some local birders who duly arrived, and as we were waiting for it to reappear a Dusky Warbler flew over a fence and landed at the base of the same tree! Both v hard to photo!
Love the blog. Superb scienctific insights. Keep up the good work ✊
We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
I saw it flying down the middle of the valley in Winterton south dunes the other day too.
Birders and others who have visited Ecuador please consider supporting this. The situation is very bad at the moment. #ukbirding

Green Sandpiper way, way out
I didn't know you knew Alan E! I once spent a mad weekend with him, going for a Bonepart's Gull in Cornwall. He was driving - frightening stuff! 🤣
Has Mr Smith disappeared from BlueSky? I'm not surprised 😕
Wtf ?No word of criticism for the far right demos over the weekend ,that would interfere with Starmer’s real job of demonising foreigners .He is the most owned, dishonest & disappointing PM in recent history because he won pretending to represent change & something better 😔..
I've not seen a Whinchat at all this year
