Yearlist 2011

As I mentioned in previous article year 2011 was the first when I was making regular notes from my bird observations. I tried to compile some birdlist from this year. I couldn't arrange it according to the date, so I'm giving you at least my list of observed bird species in this year. Total number of observed birds ended on 184 and my lifelist consisted of 185 bird species.
