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

COMMON STONECHAT at Broughton

The three EURASIAN WHITE-FRONTED GEESE flew into Broughton Trout pools ( Aylesbury ) at 0740 this morning. They arrived with the Atlantic Canada Geese from the SE suggesting that they may be using one of the artificial small reservoirs off of the A41 to roost.

Also at the trout pools this morning were 18 Eurasian Wigeon, and there was a female COMMON STONECHAT along the canal between bridges 13 and 14 and a Chinese Water Deer in the meadows (several observers).
