2017 Photographic Big Year 58 & 59 - Two New Year Birds

My 2017 year and Big year Photographic challenge list increased by two at the end of week 18. That week was ambling along until Wednesday 26^th when I registered the two sightings, the first in morning the other afternoon, on opposite sides of the island.  The first bird was a Brown Pelican⁵⁸, a rarity, which was seen fishing in the bay at Six Men’s St. Peter.  The other bird, a Willet⁵⁹, was at Chancery Lane, Christ Church. These birds brought the tallies for my year and big year list to 70 and 59 respectively.
