this page allows pre order plus additional info on the book, due for release at the end of May.


I will update my blog soon, been busy lately surveying and generally feeling shattered, but thought the above info would appeal to some viewers.

Norfolk tick

With the weather looking utterly awful for bank holiday Monday, Ruth and I decided that watching Gladiator until 1am would be a good idea. As a consequence we arose a bit late, it wasn't raining so we thought Winterton may be a good place to have a walk, during breakfast waxham turned up a Hoopoe and Serin so we headed that way instead.
As we got there the Hoopoe showed well, giving Ruth a UK tick (199) and me a Norfolk tick (302). Unfortunately after about 3 mins the bird flew into the bushes and then headed all around the small crowd giving good flight views before heading North (it did return later). We then headed North too where we watched the seals, had a brief look at the sea and then headed back once the rain started to set in. Behind the house on the camp site we found a female Black Redstart along with at least 2 White wagtails which were also new for the year.
Nice to get out to the coast today, I wasn't expecting a gap in the rain so good to get some bonus birds too.

two micros found me this week, one on my car window and one on the bathroom window, 1 reason to always have a pot handy!
I believe they are Calybites phasianipennella and Phyllonorycter rajella, anyone agree or disagree ??
