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 August 2024's bird photos!

As expected, this month was pretty shy on the bird front. August is my aestivation month so all photos were taken from home (minus 1 at my parent's house). Still, by some miracle, I managed to add two species to my annual total bringing me up to 90! With a quarter of the year left to go and all the Autumn/Winter migratory birds to arrive, I'm hopeful to reach 100 birds in 2024. We'll see...
