Some more images of the weird Cormorant at Sheringham today. That's A LOT of white on its chest - and so uniform! @nenbc.bsky.social

I know there are Cormorants with a lot of white on them. But in my experience they tend to be random patches, not perfectly white and perfectly uniform like this one off Sheringham this morning! @nenbc.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social

"Let's go!" "OK well I'm not standing still much longer". "I got this, a run up it is". <Sigh> "Go on then" "Er, shall we just have a mooch?" "Fine". "I could if I wanted to". "Course you could" Soon as I stopped filming, of course, he landed on the deer's back, fell off though! @nenbc.bsky.social

Humming Bird Hawk Moth on my balcony today! Lovely to see it with the sun behind it. That's it slowed down, so you can imagine how fast it was in real time!

Dutch-ringed Caspian Gull at Cromer on Monday. I was completely delighted that I managed to ID it myself: although I got the info about the ringing from Mark Clements! I was just happy I got it myself!! @nenbc.bsky.social Lovely light that day.

Up there on my list of underrated birds - the beautiful Yellowhammer. Showing well today to the accompaniment of the vintage railway in Sheringham - which was actually not as near as it sounds here and clearly rehearsing for the 40s weekend! @nenbc.bsky.social

Good news about the remaining juv Peregrine on Cromer Church. First 2 images are him last Sat with a very poorly eye. Not good as he has not been able to start catching his own prey. Next 2 are today: within a week v improved & he is looking down with both eyes now not just one @nenbc.bsky.social .

Lots of flycatchers heading back to their winter grounds atm. Had lovely views of three Pied Flycatchers at the cemetery today. A brief view of a Spotted Fly catching a Humming Bird Hawk Moth. Now THAT would have been a good photo! @nenbc.bsky.social

A poor vid of the female Green Woodpecker and juv Great Spotted Woodpecker in Sheringham. I love it when the Green looks up at the, clearly, rather irritating teenager! @nenbc.bsky.social

Rubbish photo! But I've always wanted to see a Great Spotted Woodpecker and a Green Woodpecker next to each other! Great to see them on my patch in Sheringham. @nenbc.bsky.social

Just fabulous watching a juvenile Kestrel learning to hunt today. @nenbc.bsky.social Hard to believe that some people who live here in Sheringham moan about it all the time! I mean, really??

Not finished my Jackson Pollock/Stone Roses inspired bucket hat but thought I'd wear it anyway seeing as the end of the world is nigh. A bloke asked me where I got it! When I said it is Pollock/John Squires inspired he knew what I meant! So obvs HAD to tell him of my link with the band! #StoneRoses

V hot at Cromer church so didn't do a full shift. The female was doing a bit of yoga! The only juv on view was VLN: sadly his left eye is still not good. He's not hunting for himself as yet which is a concern. Male had clearly been hunting! So the pigeons were fairly relaxed! @nenbc.bsky.social

Cracking views of Whitethroat feeding young on Beeston Common. Took time out to chill on my way back from Cromer as the juv with a bad eye was getting to me. I know it's nature but when you are listening to it begging for food and looking down with just his good eye. Not nice. @nenbc.bsky.social

A difficult few days at Cromer Church Peregrine watchpoint so it was nice to watch the adult male coming in very wet & having a preen. VSN female juv doing well. VRN male juv not been seen for 3 wks so concern for him. VLN male juv has a poorly eye & can't hunt for himself atm @nenbc.bsky.social

Thrilled with these shots of the Cromer juv peregrines! The first shot is VLN (male) on the left & VSN (female) on the right carrying prey. Looks like VSN is on the left (looks bigger) BUT the second shot is a better angle. She's defo carrying the prey. They somehow lost it when out of sight of us!

Who doesn't love a Meadow Pipit? Another undervalued bird - just because it's common, doesn't mean it ain't beautiful! Have had lovely views recently of a pair feeding young - and right next to the coastal footpath between Sheringham and Weybourne. @nenbc.bsky.social

VSN, the lovely juv female Peregrine at Cromer Church, decided it was too hot to go exercise this morning so she decided on some stay-at-home yoga instead! I didn't slo-mo that vid. That's her own zen-like speed, sensible, huh? @nenbc.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social

The juv female Peregrine at Cromer Church today. Awesome! The two male juvs weren't around: she scares the life out of them! This was following a successful food drop from the adult male. She's got a full crop and clearly wasn't hungry - but she wasn't gonna let her bros have it! @nenbc.bsky.social

Huge amount of activity at the Sheringham Sand Martin site early this morning. Much more than the last couple of days. When I went up early evening there was just the odd one or two mooching about, so I assume the juvs fledged. Lovely view this morning too! @nenbc.bsky.social

Bit of a surprise finding this small Sand Martin colony just below the coastwatch hut on Skelding Hill, Sheringham. There's not been one there before this year. And was lucky to see a few of the juveniles fledge. @nenbc.bsky.social I've not been there for ages (Cromer Church peregrine duties!)

WTAF?? Gaslighting, muchly? So it's the footballers fault that men draped in England flags beat the sh*t out of their partners whenever England lose, not the men themselves. And, btw, it goes UP when they win as well (not as much, but up) because, guess what, THEY STILL GET DRUNK.

This is VSN the v heavy (when ringed at 25 days she was 1049g) female juv Peregrine after fledging from the church roof at Cromer Norfolk. Encouraged by an adult she made it safely back to the top of the tower & is doing OK as are her 2 bros! Permission for me to use photo granted @nenbc.bsky.social

The two newly-fledged Cromer church Peregrines y'day: VRN low down on the church. VLN near the same Herring Gull's nest that his brother flew into last year... VLN low down on the nave when he'd had the sense to leave the area and there he is when he missed the top ledge and made it into an alcove!

bridgetjanejones.bsky.social @bridgetjanejones.bsky.social · 02/06/2026
Second Cromer Church Peregrine fledged y'day. Here's the first one: came out way too early (fell out actually, onto the ledge below the roof of the church) Here he is when he was spotted on a roof opposite. Only posting as he actually made it back to the church roof OK! @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social

bridgetjanejones.bsky.social @bridgetjanejones.bsky.social · 31/05/2026
One of the Cromer Peregrines, VRN, who dropped over the side onto the ledge a day or so ago, found his way onto the roof opposite. Much lower & he can't get back up. He did exactly what one of the juvs did last year- landed right next to TWO Herring Gull nests. Will update tomoz @nenbc.bsky.social
