It might seem hard to believe (it certainly does for me) but last month this blog was ten years old! It was November 2011 when I posted my first update.
Its changed a bit since then, as has my birding. The first year and a bit was in Cork, since then Norfolk. In recent times there's been less emphasis on photography, I've added more sound recordings and of course Podcast links.
Its hard to pull out the highlights but here's a quick trot down memory lane and my top ten posts of the last ten years.
1. November 2011 and my part in finding Ireland's 4th Pallid Harrier in A 'tail' of two pallids.
