One difference I've really noticed with Norfolk though, is that you don't seem to get the same quantity of scarce. Other local birders have said the same, but that when you do, the chances of finding rare are much higher: Redstarts are probably about as common as Ortolans. That said I have found the former and not the latter! Good luck out east. I hope Winterton produces the gooods again. Ironically, my very first visit to Cornwall coincided with that lark you found. I hope that's not an omen:-)Ilya Macleanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509104038510476680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880771201134098940.post-7884497481396739372009-09-01T15:36:35.755-07:002009-09-01T15:36:35.755-07:00Hi Ilya,

There's f all here in Winterton too at the moment, but at least it's not chucking it down...<br /><br />Good luck with you new patch. Hope you find a Dendroica or two this autumn.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Sean OffordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
