Good luck Dylan. The reason I started a year list this year was that I needed a push to get out and about more. I'm toying with joining Carmarthenshire Birding Club. If there's something more local to you perhaps this would help with your list? I'd also recommend a trip to Mull. Amazing place to go birding.

Good luck again,

Rich

thanks for replying Rich

that's a great idea to go to Mull or even Scotland in general. I'm sure that would boost my list. I'll look into it.. seeing those White Tailed Eagle's would be amazing..
