To start my
2017 blogging year I have gathered a selection of photos that were not used in
any other blog posts. The photos include a mix of bird species taken in a range
of locations/habitats. Refer to the photo captions for species names and
locations. The order of the photos is roughly chronological from mid-November 2016
to early January 2017.
