The Birds of 2024 // February

 

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 February 2024's bird photos!

At the end of January, my 2024 bird species total was sat at 35 and in February I photographed 15 species, 7 of which were new to the list! That means my annual total is now 42 different species of birds photographed. Not too bad considering how busy February was for us and how little we got to go on birding adventures.
