After a complete absence last year, it's been good to watch at least two Wheatear at East Wretham Heath over the last week. They are sneaky disappearing out of sight on the undulating heath aren't they @harris_sjh

Five hours at Winterton Dunes this morning (north and south) and aside from singing Chiffchaff and Blackcap, not a single migrant seen or heard. Great company with @simon_gillings @AldinaFranco and families. Coffee and shelter most welcome at the end of the walk.

A fantastic day. Thousands of Terns, with 16,000+ Common, 3,100+ Arctic, 154 Little, and 48 Black. Skuas on the move as well with 50+ Arctic, 7 Pomarine and 2 Great. Top counting by Martin! A modest arrival of passerines too with Whinchat, Pied Flycatcher and Firecrest the best.

Great to hear that the latest WeBS report is out. Such an important document with invaluable data for conservation. Only possible due to the tremendous effort of the many WeBS counters👏 But more are needed!

Did you know that an individual Coot was once recorded travelling from London to St. Petersburg and then later back again - a round trip of 4,000 km! ✈️ Check out more about this species in the recently published Waterbirds in the UK 2022/23 report here 👉bit.ly/3WxpKrF
