Farewell 2006, WELCOME 2007

So this was 2006, as always an action packed and frankly also pretty amazing birding year!

As a last post of this year I had planned a nice and short summary of my birding adventures and encounters but soon noticed the year was just far to great to be summarized "in short". So as soon as business is back to usual and the Holidays/New Year busy times are over, there will be a short series - possibly a monthly round-up - of the then "last year".

Until then I wish each and every one a Happy New Year and - as we say in German -

A GOOD SLIDE INTO 2007!

Oh yeah, and just in case anyone has tried a guess with the Golden Plovers, the flock on the image is roughly 3200 birds strong.

Here's a new link to Andreas Kanon's site, for those in need of good photography. And just in case you don't feel the need now, look at this and then seek shelter on Andreas' site!
