142. Linnet

It is not going that fast anymore, being very busy with university, so less time to go outside. But in 5 weeks I will depart to Bulgaria, so that will yield over 50 new bird species at least 10 mammals and many more :)

Like Lintworm (and I presume everyone else) my list is also going slowly now. But will increase dramatically when I go overseas in August.

any hints on destination? I also will be overseas in August (no surprises, in Asia).
 
A hint? Yes - I'm planning on photographing Shoebills.

:p

bah, I've been to Frankfurt already :p


I do have a plan to go to the other place with shoebills but it won't be for several years, probably with my zimmer frame by then! I shall look forward to your trip report!!
 
Hmmm..... I was just thinking, if anyone else wanted to join me it would be the ZooChat Get-together to beat all other ZooChat Get-togethers!

:p

I'll say. The English lot would be all like "hey we just had a get-together at Chester Zoo." And we would (casually, obviously) say "that's nice, we had a Zoochat get-together at Mabamba Swamp. Damn shoebills kept getting in all the group photos!"

I can only post the data that I have at hand. I'm sure these will change in the future.
