2018 Year Summary

I had every intention of updating the blog more frequently during 2018 but in reality I was just too busy birding! Had some great trips, here are some links to the trip reports with some photos below. Ended the year on 2,241 species I think, give or take.... I also started using ebird this year... follow me there: https://ebird.org/profile/NjE1MzA1/world Best wishes to everyone for 2019...
