The east Norfolk Black- winged kite has been pretty faithful to a couple of hedgerows throughout the summer. Although mostly distant as a grey dot, some artistic license was needed to make this picture!😁

Here was nice on the Stour late evening last week- Greenshank stepping out on the turning tide. Or for non-birders, aliens nervously stepping out of a crashed space module. #BirdArt

Well worth the jog down to Lowestoft to enjoy the extremely confiding Red-footed falcon

Little terns, Norfolk. I enjoyed painting the pebbles as much as the terns😁

Goodness knows what a jack snipe is doing at Cley in July. It’s been around for a couple of weeks but gave good views last night. It’s got a gammy left leg

Yes indeed Ed. I ended up spending just as much time watching the greenshank as the godwit. Great find by the way👍

A few of a spectacular 3000+ grey plover at Snettisham last week. One of the best waders IMO

There has been a strong showing of wood sandpipers at Cley, with 4-6 birds daily from late April to mid May. The reflections from a nearby rape field caught my eye with this bird one evening.

garywright62.bsky.social @garywright62.bsky.social · 17/05/2026
It’s been one of the best springs in a long time for waders at Cley, with a rejuvenated North Scrape attracting most of the action

The Cley Eye Field often holds whimbrel and godwits passing through in late April. Enjoyed watching 6 of each in past few days

Pheasants. Having seen only a fem. Monal back in 1991 whilst on Jomson trek in Nepal- I felt I had unfinished business. So delighted to see 8 birds- mainly males,near Tawang. Also wanted to see a Tragopan, so ecstatic to see Satyr and Blyths. Beautiful nuthatch and Myzornis also excellent.

Recently back from a superb trip to NEIndia. There has been a lot of changes since my first visit to India in 1984- and the birding remains high quality 😁

It’s been a good winter for Jack Snipe at Cley NWT, with a bird favouring the cut reeds near Bishop’s Hide.However, seeing them is a different matter !

The Hickling Black- winged Kite was pretty reliable over the Brograve Levels throughout most of January. I managed to catch up with it on a rare sunny day in January
