Here's a collection of images looking back on a fantastic birding year 2016 has been. Full of exciting encounters with some amazing wildlife. From the Mega rare Siberian Accentor at Spurn to Firecrest's in my Garden,from Hoopoe's on Portland to White Storks on the Somerset Levels. 2016 has been a fantastic year for some new species seen, but also a fantastic year to witness some incredible wildlife moments from close up Foxes on the Isle of Wight to showy Spoonbills at Lodmoor. These images take a brief look back on some of my favourite birds seen this year & some of my highlights of 2016. A great year to look back on and can't wait now to see what 2017 has in store. Enjoy the pictures and Merry Christmas.
