Wednesday
30th November
So
the end of another month, number 23 on the Biking Birder tour and the
beginning of day 700! With 6.500 miles cycled this year so far I am
going to enjoy another day off and explore York. I have only had one
new bird for the year list this month; the white-billed diver off
North Ronaldsay. There is another bird available about fifty miles
away, pallid harrier near Spurn and that will be the direction I take
tomorrow. York Minster and the Jorvik museum, I haven't been to them
since the children were small.
Now
there has been a lack of birds in my life recently. Winter thrushes
occasionally whilst cycling and a few treecreepers from the window of
the youth hostel dormitory yesterday isn't a large amount of birds
but needs must. I need to get the distance covered.
When
cycling one of my strategies to keep the negative voice at bay is to
consider a route to bird when I return to Peru in April next year.

Let's
dream together ….............
Lima,
San Isidro Park and the pier at Miraflores
Long-tailed mockingbirds
Saffron finches
Vermilion flycatchers
Amazilian hummingbird
House wren
and the ubiquitous
rufous-collared sparrow
Inca terns
Franklin's gulls
Blackish oystercatcher
A
ride down to Los Pantanos de Villa
Black vulture
Great grebe
Multi-coloured rush tyrant
Peruvian meadowlark
Peruvian thick-knee
Burrowing owl
Pied-billed grebe
Black skimmer
Think
I will dream of The Paracas and Ballestros Islands later!
Have
a wonderful day, wherever you are – and please remember only 31
donating days until I finish! Thanks.
