My Way

And now, the end is near, and so I face, the final curtain.....

A super 2010 draws to a close, with some birding highs documented.  Nineteen additions to the Life List is, in itself, pretty good, but within them some birds I have waited a long time to see.  Hobby (and on my door step), Great White Egret, Nightjar, Woodchat Shrike and Rough-legged Buzzard were ornithogasmic!

Regrets, I've had a few.....

And only a few.  Not going for the Whiskered Tern, and dipping on Ring-necked Duck (twice) and Hawfinch (yet again) are but three.

Yes there were times I'm sure you knew, when I bit off more than I could chew.....

Challenging Sir Vipers of Dinnington, who 'won' 236 - 231!

The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way.....

Thanks to all who have assisted, stifled, thwarted, supported and generally contributed to this year - here's to an even better 2011.
