The conclusion

Hello readers

As you know I went to America and here is a list of the birds I saw: 

American White Ibis
Northern Mockingbird
Blue Jay
Sandhill Cranes
Northern Cardinal
Anhinga
Great white egret
Cattle Egret
Wood stork
Black Crowned night heron
Black vulture
Great blue heron
Tricoloured heron
Snowy egret
Double crested cormorant
Red bellied woodpecker
Brown pelican
Sanderling

I saw these birds around Orlando, Florida where I spent two weeks. I saw many of these at Gatorland which is a great place to go bird watching if you ever get a chance to visit there.

Later on in the year I went over to France and stayed at a place just outside lussac les eglises, which is near to Limoges. As you may remember from last year's post there is a pool there called etang du Murat which I have found can be incredible for bird watching. Here is what I saw including wildlife: 

Coot
Kingfisher
Buzzard
Grey heron
Great crested grebe
Cormorant
Great white/little egret
Nuthatch
Blue tit
Goldfinch
House sparrow
Beaver
Redstart
Black redstart

I am happy with the range of wildlife I saw over there but I am gutted that I didnt get a photo of the kingfisher, but before the end of the year I aim to have a photo of one.

Now I know that I haven't posted since Easter but I hope this will make up for it so I bid you goodnight and I shall be posting again tomorrow as I am visiting upton warren.

Thanks for reading
