The Birds of 2025 - March

 

At this stage, is there any point in 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 beat that impressive number in 2025 but I'm happy to try. Here is what I photographed in March!
