The Birds of 2024 - November

 

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 having this all here to reflect on myself. 

That being said, here are November 2024's bird photos!

5 new species in November!! Unexpected but very much appreciated haha. The Brent Geese, Dunlin, Bar-Tailed Godwit and Goldcrest were all seen while away on our little break and the final addition, Golden Plover, were seen at Jackie's beach which is funny because although we were part of the Ringed Plover project there again this year but didn't get the opportunity to see any RP! haha.
2 to go to hit 100 for the year...can I do it?!
