[Mr. Zootycoon]

I will visit 4 different continents next year though...

I shall visit about 3 continents less...

However, I've got some nice plans for next year and if they work out I may have an even better year than this year. I will stay in Europe though (unless something unexpected happens), so I won't be disqualified.

My final list contains 260 species of birds of which 65 were lifers (25% lifers), 24 mammals with 8 lifers (33.3%), 15 herptiles with 4 lifers (26.7%), 5 fish with 3 lifers (60%) and 195 invertebrates which were all new to my list because I just started the list this year. I expect next year to have significantly less lifers for birds and mammals because this year I "cleaned up" most of the reasonably common ones in the Netherlands I still had to find. I hope I can do the same with herptiles next year.

 

[Mehdi]

More from Madrid!

28/12/2018 (Palacio Real de El Pardo)
BIRDS:
139 - Eurasian blue tit, Cyanistes caeruleus
140 - Eurasian tree sparrow, Passer montanus

30/12/2018 (Faunia)
BIRDS:
141 - Hawfinch, Coccothraustes coccothraustes
142 - Red kite, Milvus milvus

Unless I get something new tomorrow, this should be all for this year. It has been the first year where I've had to bird without having a car (having lost mine at the beginning of the year) which means additions were scarcer but each was incredibly joyful. It has also been marked with the discovery of a local pond where I saw more than 30 new species including quite some lifers (passed from never having identified a tern to 6 species seen and identified this year).

All-in-all, it might not be seen as a great year number wise but I don't think I've ever had this much fun birding so it has been a great year in my opinion!

A quick walk by the Manzanares made me lie but I'm not too unhappy about that!

31/12/2018 (Somewhere near the Manzanares River)
BIRDS:
143 - Egyptian goose, Alopochen aegyptiaca
144 - Common kingfisher, Alcedo atthis

These, however, should be the last additions unless something pops up by my window. What a nice bird to end this wonderful year with.

 

[Hix]

My final list contains 260 species of birds of which 65 were lifers (25% lifers), 24 mammals with 8 lifers (33.3%), 15 herptiles with 4 lifers (26.7%), 5 fish with 3 lifers (60%).

I meant to do that too. But one last addition first:
Birds
225. Pacific Koel


Of the 225 species of birds 64 were lifers (28%), of the 17 mammals 9 were lifers (53%), of the 14 reptiles 5 were lifers (36%), of the 391 species of fish I saw a total of 49 were lifers (12.5%), and of the 54 inverts 16 were lifers (30%).

[Vision]

My final list contains 260 species of birds of which 65 were lifers (25% lifers), 24 mammals with 8 lifers (33.3%), 15 herptiles with 4 lifers (26.7%), 5 fish with 3 lifers (60%) and 195 invertebrates which were all new to my list because I just started the list this year.

Interesting statistics! I'll post mine as well:
329 birds (126 lifers, 38%), 20 mammals (7 lifers, 35%), 21 herps (16 lifers, 76%), 4 fish (3 lifers, 75%), 84 inverts (51 lifers, 61%).

I'm very glad with my total for birds! At the start of the year I was originally aiming for a year total of at least 200 birds (something I had barely missed out on doing within Europe in 2017). When I reached that goal so early on in the year and started planning the Spain trip I quickly realized 300 might be possible as well (something I had barely missed out on doing worldwide in 2017) - and then I got there too!

This year has been very rewarding to me on many levels. In 2017 I basically got through all of the common species in my country but was still missing a few relatively easy ones - I've now basically cleaned up all of those as well. I did some limited twitching last year, but definitely developed a taste for it over the course of 2018 and have seen a few amazing birds I probably won't see again soon.

If everything goes to plan, 2019 should be even better still!
I'll be cheating by visiting multiple continents...

 

[KevinVar]

Figured I'd lay out my statistics as well!
222 birds (69 lifers, 31%) of which 176 were seen in the Netherlands, 14 mammals (1 lifer, 7%), 9 herps (2 lifers, 22%) and 56 inverts which I only started semi-seriously listing this year.

Just like Anton I was aiming for 200 birds in the year which I rounded off quite nicely thanks to a short visit to the United States. I've certainly gotten more experienced in birding over the year and became a bit more fanatic in twitching. In 2019 I'm hoping to do more birding and strive for even higher numbers.

I'm excited to see the surprises 2019 holds!

 

[Chlidonias]

Seeing everyone else is doing it, and even though it is embarrassing for me:

My total was 57 birds with no lifers (0%), and 4 mammals with no lifers (0% - although one of those mammals was a Leopard Seal, which is pretty cool).

I didn't leave Wellington at all during the year, hence the low numbers.

I just checked my lists and this is not only my lowest year-list ever (unsurprisingly) but also my lowest NZ year-list, even for those years where I've spent half the year out of the country! It's also the first year where I haven't added anything to my bird life-list.

[lintworm]

A visit to Cologne yielded

424. Alexandrine parakeet

Mammals

64. Eurasian red squirrel

Probably the final update of the year.

I saw a total of 424 birds, of which 28 were lifers (6.6%) and 64 mammal species of which 6 were lifers (9.3%), I don't think I have seen any new invertebrates of reptiles/amphibians this year. The low number of lifers is quite logical as I have hardly been to any new places and apart from 2 weeks in Patagonia I had 7 real wildlife watching days, 3 in Tanzania, 3 in Ethiopia and 1 in Switzerland. The lifers were however quite satisfactory as I have finally seen Leopard, Cheetah and Harbour porpoise in the wild; all 3 species that had eluded me for ages. Personal highlights in terms of birds were the Wattled crane and Schalow's turaco.

[Macaw16]

Quite a poor year in terms of birds overall, compared with 130 species in 2017. There are a few birds not on the list which I would expect to be on there, such as little egret and little grebe, but either I didn't see them anywhere or I forgot to add them. For a variety of reasons I didn't go anywhere much this year, and those places I did didn't have many birds, which accounts for the low total.

[ThylacineAlive]

206 birds (77 lifers, 37%), 36 mammals (11 lifers, 31%), 8 reptiles (1 lifer, 13%), 4 amphibians (1 lifer, 25%).

I did really well with birds and mammals this year compared to other years. Hopefully as I get better at this and hopefully do more wildlife-centric trips as oppose to zoo-centric trips I'll get even better totals. Herps were definitely lower than usual and lower than what I could have done, I just never really went out looking for CT natives this year. Hopefully I'll amend that this year.

[Najade]

It is a month into 2019 now, so I think everyone has had ample time to make sure their 2018 totals are in.

Shade
I would have only added one or two more reptiles and maybe a bat or two so it wouldn't have changed the totals too much anyway.

And here is the 2018 full mammal list. There are a heck of a lot of marsupials on there for some reason...

Wooooops.

By my count there are 484 species on the tally (including various splits which may or may not be accepted, depending on your taxonomic leanings). That makes it the highest mammal list so far.

You listed Prehensile-tailed Rat twice, but left out Mahogany Glider.

Fixed and fixed.
