A Little Bird Watching

I just finished reading Helen Macdonald's "H is for Hawk", and now I'm somewhat inspired to try some lightweight bird watching while cycling. Maybe I can catch a view of a Goshawk?

After a little research, and the purchase of a used copy of "Birds of Britain and Europe", I found that if I keep my eyes open, I have a good chance at some good sightings.

I created this sighting log and refer to the colour plates in the field guide. As I make sightings, I'll fill in the log.

Here's an example of one of the colour plates (with the Goshawk).
