Well, the Biking Birder enters the sixth month of this year's Biking Birder adventure, knowing that he has a lot of birding to do in order to catch up with the BIGBY (Big Green Big Year) leader, Ponc Feliu Latorre.
Indeed, in the top fifteen there are two Spaniards ahead of me with Ponc having seen 251 bird species and Jose Luis Anguita on 227.
My own BIGBY bird list stands at 217.
I haven't had a new bird since the Firecrest at Linford Arboretum in Norfolk but hopefully that will change today. An Iberian Chiff Chaff has been seen in Regent's Park in the centre of London and that is my next target bird.
Now I haven't updated the charity details for too long so here goes . . .
Please give a little something and make my day!
Thanks.
