I really enjoy knowing the patch that bit better.

Good luck for 2018! I'm sure you'll beat it with birds you cannot imagine now. You hit the nail on the bed with 'having the local birds down'... it's amazing what looking that little bit harder teaches you. I can walk my patch now and barely look up; just the sounds and fleeting glimpses are enough to identify all but those uncommon patch visitors.<br /><br />Happy new Year!Chris Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13202137284887845834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393606565428396544.post-12700256211382627462018-01-02T12:10:14.481+00:002018-01-02T12:10:14.481+00:00Thanks David, you're right, I've thoroughl...Thanks David, you're right, I've thoroughly enjoyed this past year and certainly feel i've learnt more because of it too :) Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453290738987000802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393606565428396544.post-29205090973145440772018-01-02T12:07:47.555+00:002018-01-02T12:07:47.555+00:00I've really enjoyed the benefits of doing the ...I've really enjoyed the benefits of doing the challenge, there's so many!

Sometimes watching the behaviour of common species and trying to understand it is the most enjoyable pastime of all.David M.

Something like that is a great way to get you noticing your local birds far more and seeing the changes through the seasons it will be interesting to see how things vary in the coming year. I take part in Garden Birdwatch too - it is great fun and good to know you are contributing to science from your sightings :)<br /><br />Wishing you and your family a very Happy 2018.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8393606565428396544.post-32762606156409341612017-12-31T22:07:42.512+00:002017-12-31T22:07:42.512+00:00Your totals are completely admirable!

A close bond with nature is a special one!! Thank you so much for being a part of my life experience I always look forward to your posts and your visits. I hope you and your family have a wonderful New Years!! Cheers!Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.com
