My birdwatching life list

What is a life list?

A life list is a list of species a person has seen over their lifetime. I have only been actively logging birds for about a year or so now, so this isn't technically a life list I guess, but oh well. A more appropriate title would be "birds I have logged on Merlin bird ID"
