My 2021 Bird List So Far (Update)

It has been a while since I last updated my bird list that I've been doing this year. There wasn't too many birds around in Norwich that I hadn't added to the list already. Though, there were a few I missed out on since my last update, such as a corncrake (that was heard only), a rosy-coloured starling (briefly), ospreys, a black-tailed godwit, lesser whitethroats, a ring ouzel and black terns to name a few. However, since lockdown lifted a couple of months ago and that we could travel the country more, I decided to make an extension list to include birds outside of Norwich. So below is my Norwich list followed by a Norfolk+ list that continues my tally.

Obviously, there had been more birds outside of Norwich that I've missed than in Norfolk. But when you don't have a car and rely on public transport and others offering lifts, like I do, it is really difficult to get around to see them. If I did, I expect I'd have reached 200 species by now. As much as I would have loved to have seen the marsh warbler at Kelling or the bee-eaters in Great Yarmouth, they will have to remain on 'Missed Out On' list like many other species. Hopefully, I will get back into continuing this list very soon (especially once the Euros are over!) and reach my goal of 200 species (inside or outside of Norwich) by the time the year ends.
