Thanks to everyone who has contributed sightings, information and photos to these reports.
Hi James, although I can't add anything to the bird list myself I can't see Red-rumped Swallow on your list. I seem to remember one was claimed and photographed at Whitlingham a couple of years ago. Don't know if the record was considered genuine or not. Look forward to the book. Cheers Steve Smith.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve. Thanks for that - I have woefully neglected this list, have just added on the Red-rumped Swallow. It was accepted by the county rarities committee, so good enough for me. I never saw a photo of it, but there could well be one kicking around somewhere, I think the finder has agreed to right up the sighting for us. Regards, James.
DeleteDear James,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your dedication to your patch! Just need shown your blog by Dave White. Well impressed.
I wondered if there were any nightingales heard or seen this year?
Best wishes,
Henry
Hi Henry, thanks for that.
DeleteNo, sadly the population in Norfolk seems to have completely crashed. At Whitlingham we used to get one or two singing males each year up until 2018. There were none in 2019, 2 reports in 2020 but just for one day and not in the usual territory, and no reports at all this year.
Best wishes,
James
