Total also includes Common Waxbill, which are pretty common round these parts - see them most days from home. So strictly native wild birds total is 76. I started properly this year at the end of March so a little head start next year may bring a larger list, hopefully.Highlights were Arctic Skua, Audouin's Gulls, Honey Buzzard, Hen Harrier and pride of place to my garden Yellow-browed Warbler. Passerine migrants were fun and I got most of the reguar ones and a midsummer Common Magpie across the way on a neighbour's roof was bizarre.Looking forward to more good birds at home next year.Happy New Year everybody!</blockquote>
