I have done a couple of trips to Norfolk plus some trips relatively locally. Not quite as many as I had hoped, plus I am missing quite a few relatively easy birds that I should have seen. I have kicked the list of with 125 (plus I have also had Ross's Goose and Black Brant (which I haven't counted).
The first 13 days has seen me add a Lifer (White-crowned Sparrow) and three birds which I didn't see all through 2007 in Britain. (Richards Pipit, Water Pipit & Grey Partridge).
This is my list so far.
