a good start to the year list (1 Viewer)

happy new year everybody.
i have been looking forward to going birding this morning because i have been working so much over the festive period. so i left home at 0710 to make dawlish warren(devon) before the sun came up.

as i was driving there i got my first tick of the year, a tawny owl, what a good start.aslo on the way i got canada geese and a sparrow hawk. anyway i made it before the sun came up and went towards langstone rock.

when i got there, there were loads of gull on the strand line so i scanned through them to see if i could see the glaucous gull but to no avail. but i did manage to get 34 year tick in 2 hours so here goes;
tawny owl

sphawk
herring gull
greater black back gull
black headed gull
pied wagtail
great crested gebe
