| Common Gallinule my spark bird |
For those cricket lovers, don’t panic, this is not the latest
cricket score from our beloved West Indies Cricket team, but it is my goal for 2022. It was on March 12th, 2012, while
on a family outing at Cherry Tree Hill, St. Peter, I saw my spark bird, a Common
Gallinule (Gallinula galeata) just outside of the gates of the world-famous
St. Nicholas Abby. 2022 will be my 10th
year of birding and to celebrate it, I will be striving to reach 110 species,
hence 110 for 10. I will also try to
photograph at least 100 species along the way to turn into a photobook at the
end of the year as a keepsake. If all goes to plan, I should get a major lens upgrade during the
year which should help in this venture.
You can be on the lookout for weekly updates, photographs and maybe even videos. Both challenges will have their own page on the blog, you can also join our Twitter page for live updates.
Here is hoping you all have a wonderful 2022 birding wised and other wise.
