My goals for this year are as follows:-
1. Get my 2023 world photo list completed. Lots of processing to do & photos to upload to eBird. 1,800+ species photographed in the end this year;
2. Get an up to date world list into eBird with at least one photo of each species that I have photographed to the end of 2023;
3. Get a British & Irish moth list input into BUBO - a moth life list is long overdue for me - too many random spreadsheets etc;
4. Add 50 moths to my British & Irish moth list - rather dependent on getting the life list sorted;
5. Record my world bird & Britain & Ireland moth lists throughout the entire year - eBird & BUBO;
6. Record over 1,500 bird species during the year;
7. Photograph over 500 new bird species worldwide in 2024 - this should be possible with the trips planned but some trips need to be firmed up; &
8. Spend more time in the field moth trapping - a poor year in 2023 for me with maybe a dozen nights - so a minimum of twenty nights targeted including recording on some of my previous local sites to update recording.
So this will be my attempt at the sixth target which is to record 1,500 bird species during the year. That will be a stretch on current planned trips but it stands a chance of being in the ballpark if all the trips happen & I arrange another one or two....
All the best
