    Hi Peter, I see them pretty much every time I walk down the road and I have never had to wait too long. Presume they are easy throughout the day, although only a single bird on the pager for today...

    At least 17 Waxwings now around Rupert Street/York Street junction in Norwich. Proving a very effective distraction from work at the moment. Light was rubbish, they quickly departed to a distant tree but you get the picture...

    Norwich Waxwings Been a good week for Waxwings on 'my' side of Unthank Road. On Thursday I found a group of 7 whilst walking down Cambridge Street, on wires outside number 48. Unfortunately I was rushing to an appointment and only had my phone with me, so despite them being very obliging I only...

    By who? Think it was accepted by the CRC wasn't it?

    Think 'The Birds of Norfolk' refs one previous record of 4(?) together at Brancaster but doing this from memory so maybe not. Are these/any previous Norfolk records still considered acceptable?

    With the 715 yesterday and the 22 before total so far this autumn of 1274 Jays south through Hunstanton... How many more still to come?

    Keen to get in on the Jay movement, I headed to Hunstanton this afternoon (before I knew of the amazing 668 figure - well done Andy!) and had an enjoyable watch 13.15-14.30hrs: 47 Jays (1, 7, 16, 4, 6, 6, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1), 3 Redwings, 2 Bramblings, 11 Chaffinches, 2 Skylarks, 3 Siskins and a...

    Fair few Skuas off of Holme this morning - full figures on my site soon but in 4.5hrs this morning 20 Arctic Skuas, 3 Great Skuas, 2 Pom Skuas (through together, 1 with spoons) and 2 skua sp. (both probably Arctics). This afternoon another 5 Arctics.

    To confirm - the figure of 200 Arctic Skuas off of Holme earlier was a pager operative error - the actual figure was 20...

    A nice, fitting, birthday present for the Observatory on the open day today... Classic HBO bird on a classic date. Happy 50th and here's to many more to come B (:

    I would have thought lower numbers because it had been in the N for so long but some reorientation... Good luck - I'd certainly be giving it a go if I could (unfortunately working, but will be watching from 5.30 onwards tomorrow evening!)

    Already at least 2 in at Spurn last time I checked, so presumably an early passage migrant

    All explained (sort of) here Phil http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=88594&highlight=Blyth%27s+Reed+Warbler Can only echo the sentiments of others with regards to Robin's untimely passing. Didn't know him well at all but he was always courteous and kind when I met him in the field. RIP

    I might be in the City Friday evening and if so would be well up for a drink... In the longer term I move back to Norwich in August

    Similar request to Robert's but can't do this afternoon (exam!) If anyone is planning to head up tomorrow (perhaps on news) from Norwich or King's Lynn a lift would be much appreciated in exchange for fuel costs/company(!)

    No accepted British records. Comments from BBRC, past BBRC members and others suggest a recording of the call would be essential for acceptance.

    Goodness me Dave, don't sound quite so despondent, you'll even bring my mood down with cynicism like that ;) So, tell us all about the 'good old days' where everyone in Norfolk birding got on harmoniously and every spring Redstart was pagered, or details were widely known about ;) All the best,

    The birds & wildlife of Gateshead

    Rob and Steve, I don't know you and have only had a few brief dealings with Mr. Kinghorn, but how about explaining, in a calm and mature fashion, without the needless sniping, why you think the bird queried is a Goshawk rather than wasting everyone's time pontificating? I really don't know or...
