Birds birds birds, tea and cake, the mighty Boro, Big Star, Teenage Fanclub, Avett Brothers, alt-country, love a banjo.
It's time to kick out the jams motherf*ckers.
No doubt the Eyebrook bird on one of the species frequent wanderings from there to the county!

Some awful decisions by the officials, never offside, never a pen. And how unlucky are you having a header hit bar, line then bar again without going in...

265 for Northants, but that's 45 years worth, so a bit poor really. In the '80s, no mobiles or Internet, and I wasn't really on the call-list for rares, then alcohol and gigs meant I missed a lot of goodies during the '90s (shame, but had some great nights/weekends!). Birds the No.1 priority now😉

Just Northants, have never counted up my Norfolk total despite visiting regularly!

Similar in Kettering earlier🙂

Ouch! I know I shouldn't, but I did laugh a little (feel free to kick me in the nuts if it now does do a Friday night flit!)

By the sounds of it, it'll be taking bread from your hand by Saturday...😉

This would normally be the week we'd be away at Kelling, so I'd be pulling my hair out in Norfolk! I guess this, the Stanford and Draycote males are all the same individual, wonder where it's been lurking?

Thanks, Vicky thought I was going to have a heart attack with the amount of swearing and stressing going on😆, it was diving so frequently that I was always scanning its position when it was underwater🙂

Cley,and the birding Gods decided to smile kindly on us; just finished lunch at the VC, when a young lad picked up a Great Grey Shrike flying past😮, and then we had amazing views before it moved further away🙂, also 5 Whooper Swan, 10 Cattle Egret, Ruddy Shelduck and Water Pipit.

Later, great views of the Walsey Hills Dusky Warbler, feeding high up (for a Dusky!) for a minute, calling regularly too, accompanied by 2 YBW. At Cley, thousands of Pink-footed Geese (including the leucistic bird) wiffled in to North Scrape, and the 3 Whoopers fed next to the VC. Cute Ivy Bee too🙂
