The Birds of 2025 - January

 

At this point is there point saying much? It's year 6 of keeping count of all the beautiful birds I'm lucky enough to photograph and we're starting off strong. 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 January!
