🦢Listers!!! Did I get all the bird species I needed in one calendar year for the #My200 challenge? No, but I got 198 - decent amount for a first go at a #BigYear. Started with a wren in loughinisland, ended with a sanderling on Tyrella beach.I’ve learned a lot & had some fun experiences, a🧵

I'm not ready to do a #BigYear (of birds) yet but I'm doing a #BigPastryYear. Here are a couple I added this morning: a kouign-amann, a (savory) croissant, and a bostock (not sure if that counts as a pastry but I'll do more reading; I mean it has frangipane on it). Very happy right now. 🪶🥧

Have #BigYear on, LOVE seeing all the birds on it. As an "immature" #birder, throughly enjoy it. Traveling to #birdwatch would be a dream

These were the countries Arjan Dwarshuis considered to offer the best #birding in the world. Understandably the Bird Continent is covered (more than) well yet, compared with the #endemics map, there's insufficient coverage of both Africa (crucial Madagascar) and Asia (e.g. China)

Very interesting read. I once changed my password to include BigYear but it was never something I wanted to do on my own and my companion was not as keen so we had the UsualYear
