having finally ended 2011 on a grand total of 138 species on my year list and 149 on my life, i was hoping to start 2012 on a similar high note; however, having decided with my friend to have a friendly bird race, just to see who had the most birds at the end of new year's day, i couldnt help adding a competative edge, so felt my loss more. 18 birds to 29 on our respective patches and 18 birds to 34 on our respective day lists. i failed spectacularly! :(
that loss still fresh in my mind i'm hoping to get my year list off the ground with a trip to lake this afternoon (red brested meganser, a skein of geese or two, swans, finches, and posibly even a bramling) i just need to persuade my mum it's not actually that cold outside. wish me luck - i'll keep you posted...
