Just finished reviewing my list from September spent in Bolivia. We managed over 530 sightings, including 168 lifers for me - the final ones being a Plumbeous Antbird and a Pygmy Antwren on our final stop coming down the Tuichi River in the Madidi National Park.
No chance of a photograph but we were lucky enough to get to a Crested Eagle nest upstream at Chalalan Lodge.

Evening Grosbeak!
Two female-types flying N past Hawk Mountain's North Lookout. One of the birds called once.
Great stuff for me!

Eastern stonechat and little auk in Norfolk last weekend. That makes a round dozen for the year. (I'm still doing a lot of catching up)

Cape Parrot this AM near Underberg, S. Africa was the latest of 149 lifers so far on my current SA tour.
In Cape Town now with more to come!

Has hat, will stand in the rain
Hume's Warbler; Berry Head, Devon.
At long last, after a variety of dips near and far - most 'memorably' spending a couple of hours listening to one calling but never showing - I finally got one.
There isn't enough B
on Earth!

Wrapped up the South Africa birding tour with 187 lifers. The last one was a Victorin's Warbler seen in Bains Kloof Pass near Ceres.

Three Snow Buntings past Hawk Mountain's North Lookout this morning, below eye level no less. Highly pleased with this latest lifer!

Still adding lifers in Africa: yesterday I got Groundscraper Thrush at Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary in Swaziland and the day before I picked up Adbim's Stork on the drive from South Africa to Swaziland.
I've now seen all the storks. Whoo hoo!

I neglected to mention MigFest at Spurn in September, my third lifer in three annual visits due to a Common Rosefinch that performed quite nicely. It's a great event to go to, not least because the guided walks tend to be led by people with serious birding skills, which really helps those of us who aren't as proficient as some!
If there's such a thing as a category-tick, I got one of those in November as I finally caught up with barnacle geese that were Category A overwintering birds rather than the usual Cat C birds I see.
And then, at the end of November, I was in the right place at the right time as a Rough-legged Buzzard flew in off the sea at Titchwell. That beach has produced more than its fair share of lifers over the years.
