I know i said i wouldnt do a year list this year, but i couldnt resist it! However this year isnt going to be a mad one like last year; need to save the pennies!

Am on 50 after a 2 hour walk round local area, the best species being Lesser-spotted Woodpecker, Kingfisher and Raven.
 
Planned to go for Yank Wigeon and check the possible Lesser Scaup but that had to be shelved for another day.

Went for a local walk instead and bagged a local patch tick, Common Gull.

Now on 42 and hoping for Glonk tomorrow which will be a Devon tick.

Still watching the garden for one of the two Blackcaps. Typical. They came in everyday except when I need them! B******s!
 
Through blurry eyes managed to see
Peregrine Falcon
Kestrel
Blackredstart
Syrian Woodpecker
Collared dove
Pied Wagtail
Starling
House Sparrow
Goldfinch
Great tit
Chaffinch
Lesser Black backed Gull
just from the garden -not capable of walking/driving today
 
Well. after the celebrations got home at 4am. Tried to get up a lunchtime but then thought better of it. Finally felt human again by 4pm and went out for a sobering stroll with the dogs to tick off Sparrowhawk and Buzzard as my first two of the year.

Note to myself.......

Will not drink tonight and will be up nice and early tomorrow to get a full days birding in!
 
Got my list off to a start at 3.30am this morning, while walking home a robin was on a post singing away.
The state of my health prevented me from having the days birding I had planned, but still managed to get to 36 from the house.
 
I got off to a great start this year with a Barn Owl; seen 2 minutes after midnight! My list was up to 35 at midday.
Best bird of the morning was a male Violaceous Euphonia that almost came to the fruit feeder in the back yard.
