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

FIRST FIRECREST BACK ON TERRITORY



FIRECREST (BOB DUCKHOUSE)
Had great views of a male FIRECREST this afternoon singing away in the area of last years second pair at Taplow. Its calls were answered a couple of times by a second bird nearby. I had been worried that some clearance of Cherry Laurel bushes nearby might put them off. Hopefully this year we will establish the full extant of this colony. (Dave Cleal)
