Charlie’s Yearlist 2006 - based on the Clements list (2005)

People keep asking me how many species I see in a year, and “Less than a Tour Leader but probably more than most people who don’t work for an airline” doesn’t seem to answer the question very well. So this year I’m going to keep a “Yearlist”: not a ‘Hell for leather, can’t sleep, must drive hundreds of miles every day’ sort of list, but just a ‘by-product’ list, a ‘look, there’s a new bird’ sort of “low-impact” list. No bashing around, no “listing before conservation” - just a little list of about 1000 or so species.

I’m going to make the time to keep this page updated with a current list so if you’re interested ‘bookmark’ and come back…

Rules: Rules? No rules, this is for fun not for the record-books - however, if I’m not sure what I’ve seen I won’t count it!
