So, the Seafield list for 2020 is as follows. 94 species observed, and considering I lost a couple of months in the spring to lockdown, I'll settle for that.
My bird of the year at Seafield is a difficult choice between Lesser Whitethroat, Grasshopper Warbler and Tree pipit. The Grasshopper Warbler is probably the rarest, but it took no effort, as it just hopped out in front of me. Both the L.Whitethroat and the T.Pipit took a bit of hunting down. So, with having found two of them on the patch, my Seafield bird of 2020 goes to Lesser Whitethroat.
And the list is...
