Yes, that's the big goal. A trip to Peru will make it a bit easier and another one planned to the Andaman Islands next December should complete the mission. As 1000 seemed out of reach I went down to the next good number. Not as impressive of course as 1000, but still pretty good for me.
So today I started:
01/01/2011
001: Bean Goose
002: Greylag Goose
003: Greater White-fronted Goose
004: Brent Goose
005: Common Merganser
006: Great White Egret
007: Grey Heron
008: Common Buzzard
009: Kestrel
010: Eurasian Curlew
011: Yellow-legged Gull
012: Feral Pigeon (yes, I count them)
013: Common Wood-Pigeon
014: Collared Dove
015: Great Spotted Woodpecker
016: Blackbird
017: Blue Tit
018: Great Tit
019: Short-toed Treecreeper
020: Eurasian Jay
021: Magpie
022: Carrion Crow
023: Rook
024: House Sparrow
025: Tree Sparrow
026: Chaffinch
027: Greenfinch
028: Siskin
029: Hawfinch
030: Yellowhammer
That was the morning at Fanel, then a text came and I went back to the train. This was seen from the train then:
031: Little Grebe
032: Great Crested Grebe
033: Black-headed Gull
034: Mallard
035: Tufted Duck
036: Common Pochard
037: Red-crested Pochard
038: Great Cormorant
039: Nuthatch
040: Common Coot
041: Common Moorhen
Then I arrived at Landquart and went to Zizers, near Chur. That's what I added there:
042: Canade Goose A Swiss Lifer!
043: Bullfinch
044: Marsh Tit
045: Fieldfare
Fabulous day with five species of geese (which is pretty good for a landlocked country like Switzerland). Some crappy record shots taken too....
