We're in the 4th year of sharing my birdy photos, though technically 2024's images are year 5, as usually I post the previous year's photos each quarter however this year I am posting each month in the following month!
I can't believe it's been 5 years of taking notice of my species' photographed! I don't know who, if anyone, cares about these types of posts and I understand that birding, on the whole, is vastly dominated by middle to older-aged males who probably aren't reading a 30-something female's blog! However, as with everything, I love to have this all here to look back on myself.
That being said, here are June 2024's bird photos!

Considering June was 30 Days Wild, there are way fewer bird photos than I expected! Still, 6 new species to add to the annual list is so exciting - especially the Little Grebe and Black-tailed Godwit which were unexpected spots as well as being lifers for me too. The coming couple of months will likely be much shorter posts as we don't go far during the school holidays, so get ready for lots of Rock Dove photos from our gardens haha!
