What's wrong with duplicates @Dave Williams ??

 

More to come, I'm doing it one place at a time....patience, 300 will come!

[Dave Williams]

Nothing wrong with duplicates if you feel the need but I thought you'd be more interested in your progress...as I am. I'm finding keeping up with everyone's BY is getting increasingly difficult as the numbers of contributions grow. If I'm away for a while and I just look at everyones last page to see what's happening.

Looking forward to your new stuff and another landmark number.

[Tdgraves]

Just seen my first ever yellowhammer! Thought it was a couple of weeks ago, but today got a better look and also heard its’ distinctive song. Unfortunately I was driving and there is absolutely nowhere around the spot to park or even stop.....

[Galana]

Good to know that. They are out there so we await a result.

Yep, 300 is a good number to reach. Onwards and upwards!

Thanks @Galana @TonyQ @xelas @Dave Williams And @michael-ibk

i have a few more to post from California. But I fear that my next milestone will be slow in approaching and may be my last of this BY....
