2025 Slowish start, poor cold and dreary weather.

2025 has got off to a sluggish start, this cold, dark, dank and dreary weather is not helping man. nor beast. No new species, apart from Brown Rat this year. January is almost done now, lets hope that February is a bit more exciting. My search for winter migrants isn't going so well for a variety of reasons. The cold weather combined with my wife's blood thinners means we are not getting out very much. Also the weather has been so dull and dreary, it just doesn't make for great photographs. Perhaps March the weather, and my luck will improve.

In late February the weather picked up, and we had a prolonged warm, dry spell lasting into late May. By early June I had only acquired images of five new species for my website, as listed below;

Sand Martin - Little-ringed Plover - Coal Tit - Common Snipe - Brown Rat.

Our June holiday produced six new species for my website, one mammal an ancient Oak tree and four birds. This included a captive Little Owl being bred for release into the willd.

Red-crowned Crane - Common Crane - Grey-crowned Crane - Little Owl Greater Flamingo - 900 year plus Oak Tree - North American River Otter.

A visit to Tropical World on the 1st of July produced another two new species. Then at the weekend I got my first image of a Wren building a nest.

Sunbittern - Victoria-crowned Pigeon - Wren - Red-crested Turaco
