It occurred to me earlier in the week that I hadn't done a 'Year List' of the birds I'd seen for quite a few years. It had always given me pleasure before, so, as it was early in 2017 I decided to do one again for this year!
Then I had the idea, I could do a Photographic year list and include it in this blog! :)
So I've created a new page which you can see HERE
I will post a photo of as many of the birds I see this year in it, just one photo of each species, which I will update frequently. If I get a better photo of a species I will replace the one already posted!
If I'm not happy with any pics, I will just include the sighting, and hopefully add a photo of it as and when I get one!
So far my year list is on 50 species, but I haven't gone far in search of birds yet, just a couple of visits to RSPB Greylake and a drive through Tadham Moor, both in Somerset.
I did stop briefly at RSPB Swell Wood as I was passing this week as I knew it was a great place to add Nuthatch and Marsh Tit to my list, and they both duly showed in the car-park, and I got pics too, despite the terrible light!
I will look forward to adding more pics and sightings as I see them. :)
