Found an injured Grey Seal pup at Winterton in Norfolk (25th October 2025). 'Friends of Horsey Seals' were notified and thought it looked mostly like puncture wounds from a dog bite.

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...

Unbelievable luck to find this pale morph Booted Eagle that initially flew north-east over SWT Carlton Marshes at 14.30 on 7th May 2025. It then headed north-west over Peto’s Marsh and dropped out of view at Burgh St Peter at 14.45

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.

Robin Chittenden @robinchittenden.bsky.social · Apr 4

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.

Robin Chittenden @robinchittenden.bsky.social · Apr 2

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