2012

2011 ended with me sat in my room reading Dutch Birding; 2012 started with a look at what was in the garden—it was full of Goldfinches, undoubtably a consequence of having taken the net down yesterday that had been furled up and out of action due to bad weather for most of the week.

Feral Pigeon, Woodpigeon, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Robin, Dunnock, Wren, Collared Dove, Grey Squirrel, Chaffinch...

In an attempt to drag my year list into double figures, and to get a bit of fresh air, my mum and I took a walk to the local woods.

The weather was pretty filthy with not much more than 'the usual' on show—though that did include a Stock Dove and a Buzzard perched on the edge of the wood.  My first ever sighting of a perched Buzzard in Liverpool, if that's of any interest...


Year list 2012: 24.  Permission to give up already?
