Found this cracking Red breasted flycatcher at winterton this afternoon, initially very sluggish & napping, then became much more sprightly, even fed on the floor a few metres away oblivious to my presence. Also 5 redstarts, winterton/horsey, song thrushes, robins & goldcrests.

[Stuart White @stuart_white73]

An after work foray to winterton/horsey this afternoon produced the Lesser grey shrike, 3 redstarts, firecrest, mealy redpoll, green sand and a handful of song thrushes #norfolkbirding

[Stuart White @stuart_white73]

Black-winged kite at hickling late afternoon, distant and hazy but you get the idea #norfolkbirding

[Stuart White @stuart_white73]

After a hard going few days of migrant hunting it was nice to find this Red-backed shrike late on today at winterton, bit distant and brief, but very welcome #norfolkbirds

[Stuart White @stuart_white73]

Sickening, nightjar nest!

[harrierman🇧🇼 @HarriermanPhil]

An estimated 11-12.5 million cats in the UK. If each 1 takes just 6 wild birds pa, that's circa 70 million wild birds killed. This shows the issue when 1 finds a #Nightjar nest on a site I monitor in #Norfolk Nothing to add 🤬🤬@_bto @BBCSpringwatch @Natures_Voice @BBCLookEast

Hi @sainsburys I just about understand you putting the price up 30-40% over the last few years, but today you have made them half the size, come on, this is a step too far. Look at the size of them, this has to be a joke!
