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

Local Mega - NORTH AMERICAN GREEN-WINGED TEAL at Linford Reserve

Paul Moon discovered a drake NORTH AMERICAN GREEN WINGED TEAL at Linford Reserve this afternoon, showing very well from the Near Hide. It was paired up with a female-type Teal and was present until dusk. At least 15 birders managed to see it during the afternoon and evening (per Simon Nichols). The site is permit access only.
