World Trip Reports

Merseyside 2007



Tempted to call this a Merseytravel list, as it's largely going to be using my Merseytravel pass to get around, with the odd cab and the occasional lift / bike ride; and a fair amount is likely to be seen from the train on the daily commute from the very north of the county into the centre of Liverpool.

Only birds seen within the county of Merseyside on this list; a full Year List including stuff outside Merseyside is here.

I know of a couple of other people whose ID skills are way beyond mine doing this this year:

Stephen Menzie: his list on these boards is here and also blogged here

and

Jason a.k.a. Pelican Crossing: his list is here. As it's not a traditional recording area, it'll be interesting to see how we all get on.
