January Targets

A modest 49 species for the Village so far but quality in the form of Black Redstart and Snow Bunting...and maybe the Shore Larks will re-appear?

Anyway, seeing as I'm not going anywhere for a while, just for a bit of fun I thought I'd set myself a target for the month. One needs a little structure in times like these.

Should see (debatable)
Mute Swan
Teal
Eider
Common Scoter
Red-legged Partridge
Grey Partridge
Red-throated Diver
Gannet
Peregrine
Oystercatcher
Sanderling
Redshank
Turnstone
Mediterranean Gull
Lesser Black-backed Gull
Guillemot
Barn Owl
Little Owl
Tawny Owl
Skylark
Meadow Pipit
Pied Wagtail
Mistle Thrush
Long-tailed Tit
Bullfinch

Might see (a potentially large list!)
Pink-footed Goose
Canada Goose
Shelduck
Wigeon
Great Northern Diver
Marsh Harrier
Kittiwake
Shore Lark
Rock Pipit
Goldcrest
Treecreeper
Linnet

Maybe - (5 long shots!)
Red-breasted Merganser 
Black-throated Diver
Hen Harrier
Merlin
Short-eared Owl

...and maybe Brambling and Waxwing lol!
