Go birding by foot from your house in January. Record the number of species you see and post on the Bluesky!

Only time for short pre work walk from home today. Beautiful light over the Exe Estuary. Crisp underfoot.
I noticed two distant Tufted Duck flying up river as I returned. Less than annual on my home patch and a lovely addition to #FootIt (number 89).

Shopping ✔️

Birding ✔️
FootIt ✔️✔️✔️
Needed to pick up waterproof reproofing spray.
Ran to Cotswold Outdoor, ran around some fields, saw Skylarks, Linnets & Stonechats for #FootIt, ran home. Back at my desk.
#FootIt 2026 now at 92.
My Devon year list is 98 = dedication to birding on foot.

Still not brave enough to run on the icy pavements so Bert 🐕 and I walked through Exeter suburbs to reach an unassuming stream.
Found at least 2 Green Sandpipers but couldn’t find a Dipper. Jay, Chiffchaffs & Siskin also new for year, moving #FootIt total to 88.

Beautiful day to be out & about around the Exe Estuary.
Day 4 of #FootIt & as expected the pace of new bird species is slowing up locally.
Today’s additions were golden (Goldeneye & Golden Plover) plus Kestrel & Pheasant. Foot It list stands at 84.
Tomorrow’s plan is to run to some new sites.

I set this morning intending to head to the commons to find Dartford Warbler etc for my #LowCarbonBirding #FootIt list.
But I soon changed my plans due to ice ❄️ & kept to the estuary.
22k run & 5 new #FootIt bird species (total 75).
Stopped by BGM to see 23 WF Geese.

Beautiful end to the day. Walked a short distance up river to look for Goosander. Bingo! One red-head under the M5 bridge.
And then I sat on a step and watched the sun set.
Ended the day on 80 species of bird for #FootIt.
