Lisa's Life List (1 Viewer)

I started making a note of birds I have seen in the Summer of 2007 when I really began birding proper (although not very well, haha! and that still goes to large extent...). The first 50-ish are in no particular order as I cannot remember which order I saw them in. As of today's date Sunday 20th September 2008, there are many common birds that I have been unable to find that I could really do with finding... I'm sure everyone must have birds they are struggling to find after years of birding, so I'm not doing too bad after just over a year. I'm going to more places regularly, and starting to go further afield so that should help. I'm not trying to be over-ambitious with the numbering I've used (0-9999)... just found it easier to make it neater that way as the TAB key can't be used to align everything. But perhaps, I will reach 4 figures...
