10,000 Birds
JANUARY 16, 2013
Back in January of last year I said in my list for the year that I’d be happy if I hit 300 birds in 2012. This is mostly because I started the year in tropical Queensland and ended the year in Thailand and the UK. In one insane day in Thailand I added 96 birds to my year list! So I guess the question is “am I happy?”

I was in a bird photography hide in Kaeng Krachan National Park in Thailand (with Alex Vargas) and we had just had an absolutely fabulous day enjoying and photographing a great variety of birds (and a Crab-eating Mongoose) when we were just getting ready to pack up and leave. Happy birding, Dale Forbes a.

We have observed an individually marked Grey-tailed Tattler from Taiwan each year in the non-breeding part of their year since late 2012 and it is especially nice to see its safe return to Broome each year.

In many ways that seems to be the pattern, as the major holiday breaks for New Zealand are over December and January; the year before I started in tropical Queensland and ended in Thailand and the UK. So I’m not going to make any sweeping statements about goals and objectives for the year, I simply can’t.
