With the privileged opportunities that are afforded him by dint of working as an international flight attendant you might expect Redgannet’s year list to run into the thousands. His schedules are likely to include 6 continents over the 12 month, with his published roster for January alone including 4 of them.
In truth, taking part in the Year List section, will simply reveal the true extent of the lazy incompetence that he has been working so hard to conceal, but which so many of us already suspect. In keeping with his natural inertia, he has not set targets or made predictions, but intends to just log the birds seen during his torpid meanderings. If he even manages that it will be a surprise!
His non-competitiveness is probably due to lack of ambition, but he does harbour a secret, unspoken goal to finish just ahead of Greg.
Redgannet has refused to be tied to a recognised taxonomy and will, like as not, pick and choose depending on which body gives species status to disputed splits.
To further disguise the economy of his efforts, he will only enter birds seen while on trips completed by public transport or his own energies. He prefers this mode of getting around, but it’s the value for money rather than the green principle that motivates his apparent eco-awareness.
November has been a very productive month. Trips to Brazil and Argentina added 82 species to the list bringing the total to 629
