It's not often I get to add a new bird to my list at this time of the year, but I found one this morning.

266. Cerulean Warbler

This species is scarce in my area, and I've been looking for one all spring. Frustratingly, I found two just over the state line in Pennsylvania. I always do a county Big Year so I really wanted to see it in my county. I'll continue to try to find it here. So close, and yet so far.

I'm currently stuck on 135 this year (200 is the target, but looking unlikely), and haven't added anything new for a couple of weeks. Hopefully some Divers will arrive soon.
I have had 10 lifers this year though, which makes up for it a bit. The last were the Bee-eaters at Trimingham.

JUNE 2022 - MONTHLY OVERVIEW

• Was able to increase my year list to 161 from 139 the previous month.
• That included two new lifers: the Willow Warbler and Black Redstart.
• Lifers in bold, and any birds I didn't see last year get a (+).

A sizeable layover at Zurich Airport en route to Dubai. There are so many raptors flying overhead that the airport employs three hunters... One of the world's great airports, including for the fact that it has a great public obversation deck on the roof, adjoined by the Swiss lounge, which all makes for comfortable viewing, even for the weary- and bleary-eyed. Saw five species, including two lifers!

Back in Dubai for the first time since December 2017, my first post-covid business trip, and very, very hot here. But have enjoyed getting out and seeing some of my favorite birds - including the Indian Roller, Eurasian Hoopoe and Purple Sunbird.
