Starting the New Year List

After spending New Year's Eve with the two 118 guys, the chef from the Muppets, a High School Musical cheerleader, and Santa, it was most definately time to blow away the cobwebs with a stroll. As long as that stroll took me past at least a few birds. And as long as it was in one of my BTO Atlas areas. Well, there's nothing like killing 3 birds with one stone.......multi-tasking we girlies call it......

So with an enthusiastic (if somewhat noisy ;-)) crew in tow we set off, and by the time we got to Wetherspoon's for our reviving coffee, we had taken in 25 species including Buzzard, Kestrel, Great Spotted Woodpecker, various tits and finches etc, a few golfers, and a couple of squirrels.

Not a bad way to spend the day, though not perhaps the same as getting Desert Wheatear and Long-Tailed Duck..........(some people I know have all the luck!).

Happy New Year!!
