Plymouth Bird List



I've called Plymouth my home since 2009 and I have been trying to see as many species as possible.

Below, in RED TEXT, is my city list - which due to other commitments - is missing some big species seen in previous years, including a Long-tailed Skua (2013), Black, Roseate and Arctic Terns (August 2014).

Also included, in BLUE TEXT, are species I have seen in the surrounding area - mostly Wembury, Bovisand, Lynher River and Kingsmill Lake.

Enjoy!
