YEARLIST. I love this to bits, and I have done this for twenty years now. From tomorrow onwards, I'll start sharing my top 30 of the year. But I first want to start with some shout-outs, records that I really liked but that just fell short. I still love them.

My Highland yearlist reached 200 this morning, with a Sooty Shearwater passing a very wet Tarbat Ness. Only five Frog Orchids present in a very brief search.
Highland Yearlist: no heard only, and the boundary as per highland birds website. #highlandbirds

Always nice when an 80-minute march is rewarded with the target bird. This beauty of a Buff-breasted Sandpiper (found last w’end by Pete Stronach) showed admirably in the sandy gales today. The march back was tough going! A Grey Plover an added bonus.
Highland Yearlist now on 209.

Looking through my timeline this eve, it's full of birders declaring their yearlist, more and more concentrating on local areas, be it patch, 10K or 10mile from home. Got to be good for #lowcarbonbirding @tg42birder.bsky.social

Took a walk along the F&C Canal to Lambhill Stables/Cafe on the Canal and was rewarded with my first ever patch Streak 😃 The outside lights also produced my first Feathered Thorn of the year. Moth yearlist (all stages, no trapping) #162

Bright and blustery days are often unproductive on North Ron but today proved the total opposite! A very smart Subalpine Warbler in Ancum just before lunchtime was joined on the yearlist by three Dotterel in the afternoon at Sandar.

Northumberland yearlist still ticking along… awesome views of the Black Guillemot on Holy Island this evening. Not an easy bird to see in the county, been years since I’ve seen one - worth the drive up after work! #NEBirding #UKBirding
