What a lovely way to have your initial ID corrected. Turns out I found the first Saker to be photographed in Portugal. It was the second (or possibly third) record for Portugal following an unseen satellite tagged bird that was tracked electronically www.facebook.com/groups/25587...

Booted Eagle (Aquila pennata) (Library photograph)

When I phoned the news out from the only (?) public phone box the response was 'how am I going to get there?'. The airport was closed on Sundays. Despite that some did manage to get there on the Sunday but unfortunately the Parula had gone.

Yes to Cliff Swallow. I didn't get any photos of the Parula but have poor transparency of some of the crowd. After finding it I ran around Tresco letting everyone know. The pub was instantly evacuated by all the birders in the rush to get out.

Thanks Mark. You've returned the favour many times, especially in Norfolk, since then.

Pallid Harrier Wighton Norfolk February 202

Very lucky to stumble across the female Pallid Harrier at Wighton today (28/02/2025). It’s the first time I’ve seen this bird, which has wintered in Norfolk for the last three years, but have yet to make the trip to see it come to roost at Warham Greens.

Sheep Eat Oystercatchers, Curlew & Lapwings!

Extraordinary new case study out in BTO's magazine showing that out of 20 predated nests observed by nest cameras, **30% of predation took place by sheep eating the eggs!**

And we still see sheep as benign...

Thanks James for another great report. Very happy to supply some of the photos. Your annual report is an incentive for me to get out there with my camera.
