Wild Bird Wednesday 492 - Highlights from a Strange Year

Well, this has been a strange year, although I did manage to see some good birds.  Lets hope the next one is better in terms of health, travel, politics and general wellbeing.  

Here is a selection of my favourite pictures from 2021.





 




As a bit of a challenge, why not see if you can ID these birds: all taken this year, and all in Victoria.

Cheers and best wishes for the New Year.  SM
