With the European segment of this journey behind me, I bid adieu to the hundreds of delightful birdies I’ve enjoyed throughout the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland).
Do you mean how I find them, or how I figure out what they are? If I can get a picture, identifying them is the easy part — Merlin ID does it for me. As far as finding them, I’m proud that I found all of these on my own, without a guide or a group. I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting them. There were a few others that I saw, but couldn’t get a picture, so I don’t include those on my life list.
What an adrenaline high you must be on, seeing all these species! Your photos are excellent, as always. You should consider a book incorporating your travels and birding. 🙂
Every single one of them! I only post pictures that I take myself. Sorry about the WP hassle, I’m not happy about it constantly requiring proof either, but if I turn that off I’ll get inundated with spam comments. Does it give you the option to remember your login? It should be doing that. The crossing is not bad at all, no seasickness for me so far.
I was surprised to read this. I never get hassled by WP. But more on topic … I’m not really a bird aficionado but this was a really beautiful and fascinating collection of birds!
