Year List 2015 begins

I spent most of yesterday driving home from Hampshire, so the first records of 2015 are made up of those birds I saw in Lymington (numbers 1- 18), on the journey home (19 - 25)  and in the garden (26 - 29).  The highlight of the day's recording was the Red Kite, which is still a tricky species to catch up with in Derbyshire. We were very lucky and saw 6 different birds today, mainly around the M40!!
