2017 Catch Up

Having been very lazy about posting on my blog I now realise it's time to do a catch up. This blog is really a diary for me and aide memoire of wildlife seen during the year so in a bid for belated completeness I have gone back through the missing posts for this year - just a photo and a comment

And always one for an excuse I am still yet to find the correct settings to upload pics at a decent quality. They are better than this honest ! It may be blogger just isn't the site for high res pics and I'll have to switch to my Smugmug website or something else- a challenge for 2018 I think.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

So working backwards:  

20 December 2017 - Spain and an early morning Fox

19 December 2017 - Lynx (male) an ambition come true, with both male and female animals

18 December 2017 - Rock Bunting in Southern Spain

13 December 2017 - Twite, one of 22 birds at Thornham Harbour, some colour ringed.
