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

Vagrant Teal GONE !

Linford from 06.00 til 07.10

NO sign of the Green Winged Teal , 18 Teal , 2 Shoveler are all down on yesterdays figures so presumably departed overnight

However Linford was alive with bird song and other notable sightings include 7 LESSER REDPOLLS on track near Woodland Hide , buzzing around , 2 BARN OWLS again showing well on the approach track , minimum of 4 COMMON CHIFFCHAFFS (3 singing) , 2 CETTIS WARBLERS , 1 LITTLE RINGED PLOVER (til 06.10 only) and 2 OYSTERCATCHERS , 2 BLACKCAPS (one singing near Far hide and another male seen on entrance track) and 3 SAND MARTINS thru east at 07.00 (Simon Nichols)
