NOA Annual Report 2012

Just received my Norfolk Ornithologists' Assocation's Annual Report today 'Celebrating 50 years of the Holme Bird Observatory'.

Fabulous front cover of a Waxwing and the backcover is a copy of the first annual report in 1962 depicting Richard Richardson's drawing of a Great Grey Shrike. Its certainly a bumper issue of 136 pages and loads of pictures including two pictures of mine: a Kingfisher and a Wryneck. Also a picture of my father taken by the late Geoffrey Barker. Several pictures from the past including pictures my father took of the queue for the Yellow-breasted Bunting, Hoopoe, Black-winged Stilts, old pictures of the observatory including the ice floes in 1962. Also a Nutcracker ringed in August 1968, my father and Richard Richardson at Cley in 1963 and loads more!

Well worth buying at £5.00 if you are not a member of the NOA. The report is free if you join the NOA. Its well worth joining for lots of reasons including dawn 'til dusk access to Holme Bird Observatory reserve. Single membership is only £20.00. See their website HERE
