| Eared Pitta in Thailand. Any Pitta is worthy, but the circumstances of finding this Pitta were too good. |
 |
| White-faced Storm-Petrel off Madeira. This delightful chap bouncing over a clear blue ocean warrants another mention. |

Zino's Petrel off Madeira.
An incredible trio of pelagics seeing my
most wanted pelagic species in the Atlantic.

Balkan Copper in Bulgaria.
A great trip with Dad, and for me this
Copper was my favourite Butterfly for the year.

 |
| Pel's Fish Owl in Botswana. |
 |
Young male Lion in Namibia.
On my own with three young male Lions as the
sun rose in Etosha NP was class.
|
 |
| King Cobra in Thailand |
 |
Semipalmated Sandpiper at Cuckmere Haven.
No doubt my find of the year, and decade
more than likely.

A Fea's Petrel was my seawatching highlight. A
long awaited bird to see from a Cornish headland.

2nd May was Arctic Tern day at Splash Point with
over 3000 passing within a few hours. Flocks flew

overland.
