Birding Europe

BLUE TIT

 It almost feels like starting over, we have been in Europe for the last week, most specifically Nuremberg Germany, and Como Italy, I have been able to get out a couple of times for several good hours of birding. So far I have added 24 new birds to my life list. At first I tried to get pictures of every bird I saw but found by doing so I was missing a lot. I have been able to take a few pictures but I am mostly concentrating on finding birds and making a correct ID on each. Here is a list of birds I have seen *means a new life bird. I will also include a few pictures. I will be birding a new place in Germany this weekend and hope to add several more new life birds.
