Even with all the not so nice weather we have had the first few weeks of the year, I have still managed to get out a bit and get a few shots here and there. I have never really kept track of numbers of birds I have seen, but have decided to do a personal challenge and try and see 100 species in the first 100 days of 2018 without travelling far afield. So far am up to 60, but now it will be a bit harder as I have mostly exhausted the common ones and a lot of the migrants won't be coming through until later, but got to have something to challenge oneself. Here are a couple photos from the first 3 weeks of 2018:
