I have a balcony and I only have to quarantine for two days (until the PCR test result comes back) so I'm perfectly happy, especially with all these new species! -

I've had a pretty birdless autumn due to work, but now I am in Madagascar for 5 weeks to do field work so I expect lots more birds before Christmas. First ones have already come in. The first 5 were at Mauritius airport during a layover while the rest have been seen from my quarantine hotel in... -

How's your 2021 list going?
I've been taking a bit of a break from the forum recently and I've also had very few birding opportunities in the past couple of months. Lots of glaring omissions on my list, one of the worst of which I found this morning. Most of these birds were seen in Hortobagy NP. Lesser Spotted Eagle was a... -

Three new ones today in the forest on the northern edge of Debrecen: 150. European Bee-eater 151. Tree Pipit 152. Eurasian Golden Oriole Also heard an Icterine Warbler, which I believe is only a migrant here, but it remained stubbornly hidden in the canopy. Hopefully I will get another chance... -

I've been a bit snowed under with with these past couple of weeks, so no birding opportunities. 2 year ticks this week nevertheless. 142. Common Swift 143. Common Nightingale I've not seen a Common Nightingale in years. Nice to be living somewhere where they are common. -

A bit of a surprise on my walk to work (in the snow) this morning: 141. Collared Flycatcher This will be the first year since 2013 that I won't be doing field work with the flycatchers on Öland, quite a strange feeling! -

How's your 2021 list going?
Long years of practice for me. It can seem quite overwhelming at first, so don't worry about that. Get yourself a good field guide (paper and/or digital) and start small, with just the birds coming into your garden or at the park. If you're overwhelmed, don't worry about identifying everything...
