This year 50 on patch (=walks from Harpenden home) before noon on 4/1. Record total was last year (94) so over halfway there! Mind you last year I found Turtle Dove, Black Redstart, Corn Bunting & Oystercatcher so this won’t be easy. Time somebody built a reservoir nearby.

Stonechat - at third site near Harpenden in ten days and almost certainly all different birds. How many do you need to collect to swap for a YBW? #ukbirding #hertsbirding

Today’s excitement (and new for the 2024 “walk” list): 3 Grey Partridges. Typically one record a year locally, ideally not as late as mid-November. #hertsbirding #ukbirding

Not sure that finding a Wheatear and a Pochard (about equally unusual on my uber-local patch) at Kinsbourne Green pit today was worth getting drenched and walking 20k steps. But virtue will one day be rewarded I’m sure…. #ukbirding #hertsbirding
