This year, a return to the more traditional Xmas card. It
must be sent out a little early because it is growing out of control due to the
wet weather.
Spice has been added to this typical view of a local
wetland by the addition of a few of your less usual swamp species. At the
price of a few kbs it has been slightly enlarged so that anyone so inclined
might do a bit of indoor IDing. Try for 30 species. Actually
there are a few more than 40 here, but some are only specks, just like in real
bird-watching. However this is certainly not a competition, which would
not promote relaxation in this holiday period. A festive, safe,
non-competitive and lowish-cholesterol Xmas to all.
