1,422,172 and counting
We’ve broken the season record of 1,422,171 raptors set in 2021! At 14:52 today, the 1,422,172nd bird crossed our transect line to the east - a juvenile Black Kite making its way through the misty clouds.
And the season isn’t over yet! With two weeks still to go, who knows how high we’ll push this new record. Huge thanks to our incredible team, counting tirelessly for 55 days and still going strong.
What a day. What a season!
