Young Birders Yearlist Challenge (1 Viewer)

[Joseph N]

Seeing the first Starling (there's hardly any flocks present in the city in the moment, which is a tad strange) of the year now brings my year list to 23, an increase of 1 species. Please change it to this total rather than 22.

[Joseph N]

Getting out on Sunday when I'll clear up on a lot of birds, so expect an update of my year list then.

I'm on 52 now after two meadow pipits on the foreshore of the river.

Happened to get another 5 year ticks just within the town. I had Common Gull, Collared Dove, Grey Wagtail and a flock of Pink-footed Goose over whilst I was at school, and Dunnock on the feeders at home. This brings my year list up to 28 I believe, so you can please raise it to that total Jonny? Thanks.

You're being kept busy with this thread! I'm on 54 now after the addition of Grey wagtail and Greenfinch today. Three lapwing on the shore of the river were good for the area (usually only have them as fly-overs). Unfortunately a nuthatch calling loudly kept itself well hidden though!

 

[Jonny721]

Well I'm expecting it to go quieter the later in the year we get.

Hopefully I should be out this weekend:t:

 

[Jonny721]
