Hi! Mike, me too, I can recognise the song of the Robin and the Thrush but that's my limit
I've only recently, say in the last few years been interested in looking for unusual birds, I must say mostly in my Garden or at Penn Flash/Hall-lee-Brook, both places get their fair share of unusual birds so when the weather permits we like to visit these places starting from January until March when, of course, the Butterflies take over

I've managed to keep adding to my bird album each year, I must say it does help when they land on your fence like the Sparrow Hawk did.
I'm looking forward to going to the new sight at Brockholes nr Preston where they've made two large lakes, very impressive, it's a sight where you can cover both, Butterflies and Birds because wild flowers have also been planted, not today though it's bitter cold and we'd snow last night, roll on a nice Spring.
