The Birds of 2025 - July

 

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 July!

Well, a month like this was bound to arrive sooner or later. So few birds photographed in July makes me sad, but it was a hell of a month, so it's not surprising. Obviously, that means there are no new additions to the annual total of species for now...boo.
