That makes 16 different species of birds photographed throughout October to December 2020! Wow! Of course, we are always extremely lucky and appreciative to experience any and all wild birds, especially those who choose to visit our garden, however, to see the Peregrine Falcon in person in the business park where Mr H worked at the time was magical!!

Considering the July - September post featured a mere 7 species, 16 is wonderful! I have totalled up all the different species photographed through the whole of 2020 and if my workings out are correct there were 34 and the list of each can be seen below.
