2013 is coming to an end. Blue Mash received most of my birding time this year, although way less than what I wanted to invest. The best phase was clearly fall migration with decent warbler numbers moving through and water levels low enough to attract a variety of shorebirds. Altogether 128 species were seen. Highlights were probably White-rumped Sandpiper, Stilt Sandpiper and a good number of Cliff Swallows in summer. Equipped with a brand-new 400mm the lens the new-year's resolution clearly is to get back into the blogging mode. Happy new year! Below snap-shots of some photogenic birds.
