New year - new blank list:

We started early- team of 4 and did a  traditional Jan 1st route  around the NW corner of Norfolk

8 1/2 hours and a  Chinese takeaway later it was 100 spp , 

The weather and wind direction were against us and some staked out regulars let us down - but it was better than last years !

Best birds were SEO, Tree Sparrow, Great Northern Diver , Black Necked Grebe, Cattle Egret, Bullfinch, Nuthatch, Marsh Tit.

    We managed to get out for a short walk down the River Skell yesterday afternoon, it's the nearest we get to a bit industrial for us, and managed to Dipper and Kingfisher which we dipped out on for 2 years. We also added Grey Wagtail and Little Egret to the year list now totalling 76 We are going to Northumberland in 3 weeks time with all the family so we should be able to add some sea and shore birds to our list.

    Bit of a struggle but I managed to to reach 100 species today with two pairs of Mandarin ducks on a small local reserve just up the road.. We should have passed the ton mark a little while ago but the very windy weather on our Northumberland week meant we very few sea birds.
