Me
Hello!
Welcome to the year of bird-watching that turned into three years and counting...
During 2014, I set out to see as many species of bird as I could in the 52-weeks that the year threw at me.
I managed to spot 201 and given that the current full-year record is 6042, I don't think I'll be getting a book deal out of it.
I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge - learning a lot along the way - so I have kept the blog going and will sporadically provide updates to let you know if I see anything new or have any bird-related 'adventures'...
Have a click around some of the past entries and please feel free to share and comment.
Have a nice day :)
