The beginning of a new personal odyssey for me, to see all of the UK bird species. The aim is to see all the species I’ve never seen, and to see again the species I’ve already seen as part of that same overall mission.
I’m unsure as to how long it will take, but for sure, and just like the UK butterflies (which took three Summers), it’ll involve me being out there in the natural world, checking out new places.
To get it started, I symbolically started in our garden, and on the Sunday, I visited Grovely Wood for the first time.
Nothing “new” in terms of species on my first forays into this new project.
I scribbled out some notes on it – let’s see where it might lead.
