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

GREY PLOVER ALSO AT DORNEY

I can add to the list a second Common Redshank that was feeding in the same pool as the Knot. The wintering Redshank was in its usual position around the 1000M marker on the Return Lake. Whilst walking down the causeway when I arrived a GREY PLOVER flew over, heading west towards Bray Lake(Berks). I didn't find the Knot until walking back to the car, so must have just arrived. I didn't see the LRP which was the first of the year and my target bird for the past few days (Kevin Duncan)
