Flashback #7; September 2022 Second Half

The next instalment in my attempt to blog a complete year. A big year.

Flashback #6; First Half of September 2022

Welcome to another attempt to catch up on last years birding highlights in a (probably futile) attempt at logging a whole years birding.

Migrant Happy! September 2-3 2023

Autumn is the time of plenty. Lots of birds, adults that have finished breeding and the juveniles that they've produced, head south to spend the winter in warmer climes where food will still available. Many of those northern breeding birds pass through Britain and in times of easterly airflows numbers of them can be high. Some of those passage migrants are expected every year and for the year lister must be seen to bolster the total. A few of the birds heading south may stopover in inland counties and some of those may be found in Oxfordshire. But to really increase the chances of seeing them, a trip to the east coast, or to a lesser extent the south, is in order. It's ironic that the two main subjects of this blog are birds that I've seen plenty of, but have yet to see either in my home county!

Flashback #5; August 2022

Another instalment in my ridiculously belated posts concerning birding done last year! I'm determined to write up a brief summary of my birding that year and marking every step of the way and the birds that made up my Big Year.

Flashback #4; The rest of July 2022

I am determined to complete blogging up past days out so this series of 'Flashback' posts is my effort to do so. Probably only for my own interest but should I ever write a book then I need these memories recorded ready to use a prompt. I hope they'll still be interesting for anybody landing on them even though some are well over a year late!
