The number to beat is 214! That’s what I got in 2024. In 2023 it was 195 and 2022, when I started to get serious, it was 156.
I wonder how much I’ll do this year and if I’ll be able to keep increasing the numbers. Only time will tell.
So, what have I seen in January? Here’s the start. As at 4th January the count is so far, 41, although I don’t yet have photos of them all.
