YEARLISTING IN 2016

Compared to most recent years, when for example I recorded 165 species in the county in 2011, 187 in 2012 and 173 in 2013, this has been a particularly poor one with just 157 species recorded by mid December - one of my worst years on record

YEARLISTING IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE

It's all over - 2012 has come to an end. I managed a total of 187 out of the 198 species recorded all told in Buckinghamshire - 94% of the total - probably my highest-ever annual tally.

The current record is 191 species achieved in 2006 and held jointly by both Rob Hill and Simon Nichols

GREATER SCAUPS AT LITTLE MARLOW GP 1-3 JANUARY 2008


Three GREATER SCAUPS (an immature drake and two females) were present on Little Marlow GP this week (Alan Stephens et al, photographed above by Jim Rose). A female appeared on 1st and was then joined by two more birds on 2nd-3rd. Much of the lake then froze over and the birds moved on.
