List of birds seen

This post will comprise a list of the 191 species of birds seen and, when I get to do so, links to various posts in the blog with images of 38 of the species.  For birds that I didn't photograph I suggest the images section of Avibase would be a good place to look for the bird in question.

The order of the species is I think a standard (probably Clements) taxonomy of unknown vintage.  Go down columns  rather than across rows.  Red text (or a hash mark where the entry is hyperlinked) will indicate an endemic species ( 26 of these).  The number 2 (or higher) indicates a second etc link to another image.

The BIG number is that I made 104 additions to my life list.  Given that I have done some birding in S E Asia and that most of the waders are world wide that is a very pleasing result.
