Nice to see the 1W male Desert Wheatear along the shingle ridge east of the beach car park at Cley early this afternoon #NorfolkBirding

Sadly there were no takers over the weekend for the freebie Macmillan Guide, so if anyone would like this copy of a still brilliant little guide, ping us a DM or message me here & we can sort it from there. It has a slight rip on the back cover, which I'll sellotape up for free too 😉

Saturday giveaway time! I picked a copy of the (still brilliant) Macmillan Guide to Bird Identification at Cley village fete & like the last time, I want to give this copy to a really keen young birder (18 or under). Drop me a DM - or reply here - & Lynnette will pick a name from a hat. #ukbirding

The UK Government has unveiled a 10-year deer management strategy for England, pledging to make culling easier in a bid to address what it describes as an expanding deer population that is damaging woodlands and farmland and impacting ground-nesting birds:

As @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social said 'The story has turned into being about 2 bad boys, Mandy and Andy, and not about an elite group of men creating a den, cut-off from the real world where they could behave as they want - which was about corrupt finance and brutalising women.' #Epstein

For ID purposes videos can be great for familiarising yourself with seabird flight actions, structure, etc. but it’s a pain tracking down useful clips. I’ve collated video links for various N Atlantic species here #seabirds #seawatching #birding #birdID chatterstanes.wordpress.com/2025/12/23/s...

Today Tessa and I made our annual visit to the fantastic Christmas Tree Festival at St Peter & St Paul Fakenham parish church. This year we took Joseph, who was captivated by it all. It’s really worth a visit (the carrot cake is recommended). It was lovely to catch up with the Rev Tracy too!

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited
