Well 2021 what was that about!! At least it seems to have gone quick. It's been an interesting year, birdwise, We started in Lockdown, so the first three months of the year was all local walks around the Hurstpierpoint wastelands, mostly what you would expect, Winter Thrushes, Finches and Buntings amongst the commoner stuff! Good weather was at a premium and as we know, the quality of my pictures is entirely dependent on the sun!!😁 With travel pretty much forbidden, my birding winter was saved by a Dung Heap and the local Yellowhammers!!
