I just updated the 2008 thread and as I've been keeping a 2009 BIGBY list thought I would start a new thread with updates throughout the year.
On January 1st I took part in the annual SOG sponsored birdwatch, covering about 25 miles by bike and recording 87 species - a bit less than last year. First raptor was a Peregrine again - wouldn't of imagined that a few years ago! Other highlights included Corn Bunting and Slavonian Grebe and the Tawny Owl in Christchurch Park, Ipswich that allowed me not to get up too early!.
Back at work and on my patch a few more additions including over-wintering Little Stint and Curlew Sandpiper. A ringtail Hen Harrier was a patch tick and a BIGBY one that I did not get last year. Total for the year so far is at 99.
