I dont do twitching anymore but seeing as i was up that way i thought it would be rude not to go and have a go at the Bee Eater at wableswick church today but the bird thought not apparentley. I seen them before but not in this neck of the woods never mind always next time lol

I am a bit of a twitcher but only if it is localish. Lesser Kestrel at minsmere earlier this year is about as far as I would go (about 50 miles).
Have just been up to cley this afternoon to see the Trumpeter Finch. What a great looking Bird.

Cheers David

yep well don on that one great bird but nowadays i tend to stick local and look at whats on my local patch we used to go all over the country and still that hoopoe eludes me its always just gone or dos'nt wanna show itself when im about lol but keep up the twitching bit its great fun and on a major twitch ya meet some intersting folk to say the least
