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

YELLOW WAGTAILS at Spade Oak

The YELLOW WAGTAILS are still present on the Thames meadows near Spade Oak Nature Reserve (aka LMGP).

On Thursday (3/9 at 17:30) there were 15 amongst cattle, but many initially flushed from the longer grass, near the Thames path at the meadow nearest Spade Oak. Also, at least 4 were reported with cattle at the meadow nearest Marlow Rugby Club.

I have put 3 photos on the new BBC Uploaded Photos site (Kevin Holt)
