Toot

I've seen 15-20 species of birds this year, a big come-down from 20 years ago when I saw as many as 80 on New Year's Day alone. Mainly, I'm not going looking for them: I can't spend from dawn to dusk anymore, can't lug a telescope & tripod about, plus try and use car as little as possible.

Seeing a Great White Egret when I came out of the coffee shop on Jubilee Campus was a big thrill. I've never seen one in the UK before & it's a neat bird to add to the campus list. #Birding #Nottingham

@SK53 Coincidently, I had never seen one in the Netherlands either, and here it was in the field last Wednesday!
