Final Year List

What a year it's been! Some crazy highlights including a few lifers, a fair amount of rarities and some welcome favourites.

Didn't get a lot of chances to head out towards the end of the year inbetween work, covid and moving house and there's a few annoying gaps to fill, and so close to 150 birds! Gonna set a cheeky target of 175 for 2021 and see what happens

*Starred species designate uncertainty, or probable escapees and aren't included in the final totals.  

Birds in bold indicate lifer sightings.
