I stopped working to deadlines and heavy commitment when i retired,my 52 is loose with plenty of scope for me,i will allow myself 10 substitutions due to some of my objectives being season and location dependant,with the birds i will try to get male and female if there plumage is different,this should mean a lot more than 52 pictures so they will be posted as many each week as i capture.

I have a decision to make in the next two weeks,started surveying my target area for up to a third of my subjects needed to complete the 52,its been staring me in the face but i never made the connection,the area is not going to produce this year.The pictures below show a small part of the 1/2 mile long area last December and today,ignore the water as that was just a one off last year due to storms there are no berries this year.
So do i change my list or go into it with a high chance of failure,at the moment ime thinking leave the list and just go for it,after all its not a competition its just a personal challenge.

I'm one for risking failure too. It's easier to fail than not to have tried, so I applaud your effort in doing 2 52's, and I look forward to seeing how you go, especially with the birds :D So far, so good, I like your tufted ducks :D

Thanks,it was the possibility of this one not going to plan that made me decide on two
