16th June 2024 – Summer Tour, Day 3
Day 3 of a 3-day Summer Tour. It was originally forecast to be a nice day today, the best of the weekend. Then last night the Met Office changed its mind – it was going to rain all morning and there would be thundery showers in the afternoon. We set off down to the Brecks […]
15th June 2024 – Summer Tour, Day 2 & Nightjar Evening
Day 2 of a 3-day Summer Tour, including a Nightjar Evening. It was originally meant to be a nicer day today, but it started very grey and damp and was much windier still than forecast. After a brighter hour or so mid-morning when the sun broke through, it clouded over again and then rained for […]
14th June 2024 – Summer Tour, Day 1
Day 1 of a 3-day Summer Tour. After a grey start, it brightened up through the morning and we even had some sunny spells around the middle of the day. There were more showers around in the afternoon though and it gradually got greyer again until it started to rain on and off later on. […]
9th June 2024 – Late Spring Tour
A single day Late Spring group tour in North Norfolk, looking for summer breeding birds and late spring migrants. After a brighter start, it clouded over progressively and threatened rain at times. There was a cold and blustery wind too, which meant it hardly felt like summer, but at least we managed to stay dry. […]

An International Tour organised in conjunction with our friends at Oriole Birding, our regular spring visit to Romania, to the Danube Delta and the neighbouring region of Dobrogea and the Black Sea Coast. We plan to run this tour again in 2025, on 27th May to 3rd June, so if you like what you read, […]
12th May 2024 – Spring Migration, Day 4
Day 4 of a 4-day Spring Migration tour in Norfolk. It was mostly bright and sunny again, with a bit more hazy high cloud in the afternoon. The light ESE wind picked up a bit in the afternoon too but was not as cold today, just enough to stop if from getting too hot. We […]
11th May 2024 – Spring Migration, Day 3
Day 3 of a 4-day Spring Migration tour in Norfolk. It started bright and sunny, but the early mist which had burnt back and been hanging offshore started to drift back in during the morning and then hugged the coast during the day. There was a rather cool sea breeze which picked up during the […]
10th May 2024 – Spring Migration, Day 2
Day 2 of a 4-day Spring Migration tour in Norfolk. It was another lovely bright and sunny day, with the easterly breeze increasing in the afternoon and keeping a lid on temperatures. We spent the day in NW Norfolk. While we were loading the minibus outside the guest house in Hindolveston, a Garden Warbler started […]
9th May 2024 – Spring Migration, Day 1
Day 1 of a 4-day Spring Migration tour in Norfolk. It was a lovely bright and sunny day, and warm too. It felt more like summer at times than spring. Great weather to be out in the countryside, if not the best for encouraging migrants to drop in. We spent the day on the North […]
4th May 2024 – Nightingales & Spring in the Fens
A single day group tour down in the Fens, listening to and watching Nightingales and then looking for other spring Fenland specialities. After a slightly damp, cool and cloudy start, the sun came out and it was a lovely warm sunny day. Perfect birding weather. We met this morning in the car park at Lynford […]
