It
was fun seeing that many new birds in England.
This
wasn’t primarily a birding trip, but anytime we were out and about, we could
watch for whatever was around us. When we were out walking, we got to
make several trips to wildlife parks, not just city parks, and record what we
saw there. Lots of easy birds like crows, blackbirds, coots, herons, and
moorhens. Easy to recognize, but slightly different from North American
species, so all new birds to us. Those parakeets in the city parks.
Couldn’t
count this ruddy shelduck because it didn’t really belong here, but it was fun
to see it.
This
black swan didn’t count because it was more like a pet.
Got
to count the ring-necked pheasant, but it’s the same as what we see at home,
when we get lucky enough to spot one.
We
saw a great spotted woodpecker.
From
a great distance.
Loved
that little European robin.
Barnacle
geese.
Eurasian
magpies.
And
a common kingfisher.
Striking
coloring.
We
added thirty-five species to our life experience.
