End of 2012 Totals and start of 2013

With us now entering the start of a New Year I am planning to restart my blog after 6 months of absence, mainly due to just too much else going on!!  So to start off, below is a quick round up of the totals I achieved in 2012.  Highlights have been the 24 Barn Owl, 9 Tree Pipit, 7 Redstart, 2 Firecrest, 6 Spotted Flycatcher, 1 Rook, 708 Redpoll and 33 Crossbill.  Also, the unexpectedly large totals of 300 Goldcrest and 98 Coal Tit.  A big thank you to Paul Stevenson, Sue Walsh, Martin Gray and Claire Boothby for their help with my ringing this year.
