Taken 2 weeks ago, hanging out of the bathroom window, my favourite hide!!

We see these maybe a couple of times a year, presumably on migration.

201) Grey Phalarope

When one was reported on the local reserve I had to take a look and get one shot for the BY. It was very distant and the light was poor which didn't really matter as I have had them within feet in the past.This was at least 50 yards away.

Blimey.

The double ton is done and dusted in record time.

Congratulations to the tortoise on an amazing turn of speed. Let's all hope it can be sustained.

Thanks Fred but it's no record.April 1st last year I was on 276 and finished on 375! Hope there is no repeat this time as I would like to hit 500. After that I might just quit!! It's hard work just posting images never mind looking for them.

[Kitsafari]

wow you filled up six pages in the last 24 hours, zoomed past the first century and lived on the fast lane to hit the 200th. 

 

Congrats! the hare had better catch up quick......

 

what a lovely blue-bellied roller for the 100th. i've never seen one.

Great work, great images. You were just waiting for me to switch ST back on again weren't you @Dave Williams?

 

But just remember the affect that eagles have on liver birds...

But of course...sorry to bombard the site with my BY!

I, and I'm sure others, would appreciate some inside information and direction around the effects and demands of photographs and storage.Is an outside link a memory/cost saver?

 

Incidentally, for your year list, the Liver Bird can be seen north of you on the 17th of the month!!  

[Game Warden]

@Dave Williams have a look at this topic and this one Dave. I think we may have managed to streamline both image hosting and data handling.

There are times you know you just have to step back for a while and just watch and try to learn.

 

Well, it´s one of those times.

I was hald expecting that the Liver Bird will mark your #200 !! Congratulations !! Now that we have a target in front of us, lets do our best to catch the tortoise.
