I have had a great 2017 visiting some brilliant places in the UK including Mull, Titchwell and Minsmere. I then had a week in Asturias in Northern Spain which was fantastic. I finished off the year with the last 3 months in South East Asia seeing some amazing birds. My total was 445 which I hope to beat this year when I will have a year visa for Australia!
