With 2012 coming to an end, personal prizes for Birds of the Year go to -:
1) In first place, Suffolk's wonderfully confiding and entertaining HORNEMANNI. My only new bird in Britain in 2012
In second place, Herefordshire's outstandingly beautiful CREAM-COLOURED COURSER. Not only the bird but the location were remarkable.....(Gary Thoburn image)
And in third place - East Yorkshire's ROLLER charming hundreds of admirers during its long stay near Aldbrough.......(John Carter image)
