Birdwatching – January 2022
After many happy weekends birdwatching when we lived in Devon I’m really getting back into it again now.
Last year I started record keeping again, and this year is no different – except I seem to be seeing more species.
So here’s a question for you.
What is the most exciting bird in this photo?
No, it isn’t the Pelican!
Way up on the skyline a Peregrine Falcon sits towards the top of the dead tree.
I can only count wild birds on my list, and the WWT Arundel site we called on last Sunday served up for “new” species for my 2022 list.
Here’s what I’ve seen in January.
