Bee-eaters - Schedule 1

Jun 1, 2024 Carol Thornton

Don't forget that Bee-eaters are Schedule 1 breeding species .....

It is that time of year again! In light of recent sightings, including at Weybourne over the weekend of 25th May, and the history of the past couple of years, if Bee-eaters do show up looking for breeding sites along our coastline, please remember that these are Schedule 1 breeding birds and as such we should not be publicising their presence at potential breeding sites. Please hold off posting any records on our website (or further afield on social media) for the time being if you are lucky enough to see any. Other local and national groups / bird news outlets will be doing the same as far as possible. Do of course keep a note of any sightings to add on at a later date and if you want to keep us posted, drop a personal WhatsApp or email to any of the club Committee members.  Thanks for your assistance.

Club Area Boudaries

Jun 1, 2024 Carol Thornton

Club Area Boundaries .....

Just a quick reminder to old hands and a note for the newer members. The club recording area covers the eight Ordnance Survey (OS) map 10km squares TG03, TG12, TG13, TG14, TG22, TG23, TG24 and TG33. They stretch in a cross shape from Swanton Novers in the west to Happisburgh in the east, and from Sheringham in the north to Hevingham in the south. Records logged on the website need to be for birds seen or heard in the club area only so within the straight line boundaries to these squares as shown on the OS maps AND NOW REPRESENTED ON OUR LOCATIONS MAP. The vast majority of our regularly watched sites lie completely within these boundary lines so there are no issues but there are a few crunch points - Kelling Heath, north of Letheringsett and west of Weybourne Camp - where you need to ensure that your record does actually lie within the club area before posting as the sites straddle the boundary. There will be a bit more info on this in the June newsletter. Thank you!
