But once more: it has been a humorous outdated yr! Some actual high-value scarce or uncommon birds, however a number of ‘bread & butter’ species didn’t oblige. Buff -breasted Sandpiper, White-tailed Eagle, White-winged Black Tern, Lesser Scaup and quite a few different goodies, however no Treecreeper, Crossbill or Tree Pipit! Nonetheless, a complete (at time of writing) of 227 is not too shabby, I suppose…
