End of Year Birds

I logged the lesser scaup at Slimbridge and that entered my English list. Also new for the Wetland Centre were redpoll and raven. [...]

A beautiful, if somewhat crisp at the start, day in the foothills of the Cairngorms. [...]

The middle of November was exciting and rounded off an excellent autumn for the Somerset reservoirs. [...]

At first it looked like a buzzard, scattering the wigeon, teal and pintail at this West Sussex reserve. [...]

Fisherman’s Walk Zig Zag, Boscombe to be precise. That is in Bournemouth Unitary Authority, which is technically not Dorset. [...]

Not the plain old best but, as a rabid lister, the locations to deliver the most varied bag of species. [...]

Lunch at the Green Dragon, Brook, then the roads pass Longcross, Fritham and Ocknell Plain. [...]

(Try saying that fast!) And this rather pale female almost the only bird on the Common. [...]
