82 Danny Cooper 2724 12th July, 2023 Good start to the year with 122 lifers so far, hopefully get a few more over the next few months. Nice to start the year with Isabelline Wheatear for a new bird, Montagu’s Seasnail and Many Eyed Flatworm have to be some of my highlights. A trip to Mallorca has added to my European lists and I've added a few celestial objects too (Saturn and Neptune added to my Spanish list!), no new fossils this year... yet.
