The Birds of 2025 - November

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 November.

November was a bit of a crazy month, and so it's not surprising that I only got out once in search of birds. It's highly unlikely that with less than a month to go until the end of the year, I'll be able to photograph another 22 species to match last year's total, either.
