The last couple of years, I like yourselves, have cut down on the travelling - just too expensive although at least here the roads are relatively clear! To make up for it, last year I joined the BY (Big Year) initiative here in Spain, keeping 'Murcia' and 'Local Patch (Mar Menor)' yearlists. Amazing how interesting it can be, without having to stray too far! By the end of the year, my Murcia list was on 239 (one short of my best ever, which included one bird seen in the hand (Grasshopper Warbler) which isn't allowed under the BY rules, so in effect I equalled my best ever), and the Mar Menor list on 203, and lots of fun doing it. I don't know if there's an equivalent in the UK - the only thing I can think of is the 'Patchwork Challange'.<br />Anyway, good luck with your local yearlists, and maybe catch you out here in Spain when it gets too quiet in the UK!murciabirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994695997171248989noreply@blogger.com
