Hi, folks! :hi:
I had given up the idea of keeping a thread with my year list in 2009, as I knew I was going to do little birdwatching this year for different personal reasons. But as I seem to be unable to keep track of what I see during the year if I don't build up a thread, and I've done it quite well so far in my scarce outings, I've decided to start it now with the notes I've taken.
No particular aims this year, just to write down the list as I did last year adding some pictures taken during the birding days.
The first day of the year, I "fleed" from my duties for a while to have a walk in the outskirts of my city. And these are the first birds spotted this year:
1 January 2009: outskirts of Oviedo, Asturias, N Spain
1. Yellow-legged Gull (Larus cachinnans)
2. White Wagtail (Motacilla alba)
3. House Sparrow (Passer domesticus)
4. Magpie (Pica pica)
5. Blackbird (Turdus merula)
6. Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
7. Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)
8. Jay (Garrulus glandarius)
9. Blue Tit (Parus caeruleus)
10. Great Tit (Parus major)
11. Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus)
12. Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis)
13. Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo)
14. Meadow Pipit (Anthus pratensis)
15. Carrion Crow (Corvus corone)
16. Song Thrush (Turdus merula)
17. Redwing (Turdus illiacus)
18. Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus)
19. Cirl Bunting (Emberiza cirlus)
20. Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea)
21. Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros)
22. Firecrest (Regulus ignicapillus)
23. Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes)
Only one picture taken during this gloomy day, this Song Thrush. And to make the thing complete, I lost my little tripod during this outing! :-C It didn't look like a good start for my birding year!
