Review Of The Year......2014.

2014 was a pretty special year on the whole,with some impressive birding highlights which included myself being involved in the finding of a 3rd for Britain...the widely apreciated Juvenile Masked Shrike at Kilnsea near Spurn.
 Other birding highlights came in the form of Crag Martin at Flamborough...Short-toed Eagle in Sussex...Eastern-crowned Warbler in North Yorkshire...an interesting Citrine Wagtail at Flamborough and the year rounded off with the biggest surprise of the year for most,the Juvenile Little Bustard at Fraisthorpe.
 Some fantastic places were visited by both myself and Trace through the year also and included visits to the Yorkshire Dales,Derbyshire,South Devon and Wales.
 Non bird highlights included the beautiful Red Squirrels in the Yorkshire Dales and a stunning White-beaked Dolphin off Filey Brigg in North Yorkshire.
 The following are a selection of photos from the year:
