The Birds of 2025 - February

 

At this stage, is there any point saying much? It's year 6 of keeping count of all the beautiful birds I'm lucky enough to photograph and I can't stop now! Last year I surpassed my goal and photographed 101 species all within the North East of England alone. I'm not sure if I'll manage to beat that amazing number in 2025 but I'm happy to try. Here is what I photographed in February!

Before I sat down to put this post together, I thought that I hadn't photographed many birds throughout last month. However, I ended up being able to add 11 species to my total, which is pretty cool considering there were only two actual birding trips!
