Well, what a year 2018 was! I managed to get away three times this year (Iceland in March (see here), Majorca in July/August (see here) and New York in December 2018 (see here). As a result, my "year list" is my highest ever with an amazing total of... 230 species.
Of the 230 species seen this year, I had 171 species in Britain and Iceland, 29 species in Mallorca and 30 species in American.
17 species were "lifers", 2 in Iceland, 1 in Mallorca and 14 in New York.
It's very difficult to say which the highlights were, but obviously the "self found" Harlequin Ducks have to be one, as were all the amazing birds in New York. Hopefully, 2019 will be just as exciting!!
Welcome to my blog all about my birdwatching, wild bird ringing activities and moth recording at Linacre Reservoirs, Derbyshire; in Great Britain and abroad.
