    How's Your 2023 List Going?

    A week in Dorset to finish the year provided four final ticks, including one lifer. Perhaps if the weather had been better I might have found more and though it's kind of a shame not to make 500, it's still a lot more than I thought I'd get this year. 489. Slavonian Grebe 490. Common Goldeneye...

    This would have been easy to tick off when I'm in England next month, but much nicer to get it here in Madrid where it's uncommon (unless you count the escaped that's been living in the city centre for a couple of years!). 487. Eurasian Wigeon

    How's Your 2023 List Going?

    Tahoe. I'm usually based in San Diego whenever I'm over here but left for a week or two at the exact wrong time (from a birding perspective!). I understand some interesting things did turn up, but predictably gone before I got back. Having said that, there are still very big numbers of seabirds...

    A two hour layover turned into four days stuck in Montreal due to crazy weather and general Air Canada nonsense. But on the bright side it gave me a couple of small opportunities to do some birding in a completely new region. 260. Wood Duck 261. Pied-billed Grebe 262. Mourning Dove 263...

    How's Your 2023 List Going?

    Trying to mop up as many summer migrants as I can locally before I leave for three months, which means lots of time in the sierra - the best place to be anyway! Little Tern is new for my Spain list - it's rare in Madrid. Also pleased to find Honey-buzzard, as it was glaringly absent from last...

    Two ticks from the couple of days I got out this week. Curlew Sandpiper is again new for my Spain list and it's also the first time I've seen one in breeding plumage, which was nice. 226. Eurasian Nightjar 227. Curlew Sandpiper

    How's Your 2023 List Going?

    Took the train down to Alcázar de San Juan today down in La Mancha to visit the lagunas there. Parts of it have clearly been hit hard by the drought, including the tern colony which is abandoned. Such a contrast from when I was last there a year ago and not nice to see, but still managed seven...

    How's Your 2023 List Going?

    Unseasonal heat (what happened to spring? We've jumped straight to summer!) has been deterring me from venturing out as much as I might otherwise, but two new species this week. 214. Whiskered Tern 215. European Roller
