This year Alice decided to keep a record of her bird sightings. We are very honourable and only include a bird if we are really sure that we saw and identified it. We still see so many that we can’t identify. Mostly small brown ones!! The pictures are all ours, but not taken at the same time as the sighting. Generally they are the best picture I have of each subject, not necessarily from 2009. Further details of locations are given at the foot of the page.
