My trips abroad were limited to short family vacations to the Cote d’Azur during the first days of January and a week-long vacation to northern Tuscany / Italy in May. I therefore finished the year on a high note, seeing quite a few species I scarcely got to see during the previous years. 1, my best bird of the year… 10.
