Happy New Year, and thanks for reading the list!
So, that was the year that was. 153 + one or two heards wasn't too bad in the end for a year with a new baby, some busy work, no overseas trips, and only my third year list. Below I list my highlights, inc. some pics, and some misses.
Highlights:
Bittern, Long-eared Owl, first uk Ring Ouzel, Auks at Bempton, Avocet, Spoonbill, and of course the Port Meadow Lesser Yellowlegs.
Dips: Barn Owl, Little Owl, Hen Harrier, Merlin, Whinchat, Grasshopper Warbler, Dartford Warbler, very unlucky not to see a Waxwing! Hopefully 2011 will be rather more productive...
