UK List 2008

List updated: 31st December 2008 - 141 Didn’t try too hard this year did i? told you i wasn’t much of a lister. Only 1 lifer in the UK during 2008 which was the Pallas’s Warbler seen at Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire on the 1st November.
List updated: 15th March 2008 - 108
List updated: 8th March 2008 - 107

24th February 2008: Having a quick review of my list so far this year (birds ringed this year marked with a * and lifers are in bold and underlined). As you can tell, i haven’t been too active yet so far - too much work and not enough play methinks! Sorry its not listed in species order but in alphabetical order. Will update as the year goes on! Think a serious birding weekend away is called for - will start planning immediately! Maybe Norfolk or Suffolk……
