HOT NEWS!!!

Just noticed on the NOA website that they have had a Hooded Crow there today:
"Hooded Crow was on the grazing marsh south of the car park hide"

BLACK STORK seen flying NW over Oulton Broad, Suffolk this afternoon at 3.15pm!!! Keep flying North West please!!!

My mother had her first Humming Bird Hawkmoth in her garden this evening at Holme!

BEARDED TITS SERIOUSLY AFFECTED BY OUR LONG HARD WINTER
Paul Eele, Warden at Titchwell RSPB response to lack of sightings of them: See: BIRDFORUM for discussion or Paul's post here "Bearded tits are very quiet here at the moment - we only have one confirmed pair although it is currently feeding young fairly close to the main path. Talking to a few other site staff from along the coast and it sounds like the same story. The theory is they haven't made it through the period when all the seed heads and leaf litter were frozen solid in December/January."

Also note: Connor saw a Whinchat at Burnham Norton today - nice find!

Some stunning photography on this blog especially the Great Crested Grebe pics.
