As an ideal alternative to Olympic fever, herewith the next year's mammals thread.
I have had a slow mammal start to the year with only Rabbits and Grey Squirrels today. This was in part because I set out to see 100 bird species in a day, along with Clare, Steve and Barry. We failed by seven species as the weather went absolutely horrible in the afternoon.
Nevertheless 93 species in a day is good value and we had some good birds among the full tale, including Jack Snipe, Goosander, Marsh Tit, Whimbrel (in Pagham Harbour), several Med Gulls and a Merlin.
Happy New Year everybody!
