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

'GROPPERS' in North Bucks

Ted and Evelyn Reed found a GRASSHOPPER WARBLER at Linford this morning, initially singing half way between Car park and the Bend to the Hides, and showing well occasionally.

In the Brickhills, Paul Moon recorded four more reeling males

Elsewhere today, three male RING OUZELS remain at Ivinghoe - one in Inkombe Hole and the two on Beacon Hill - whilst another male was discovered this afternoon 1 mile NW of West Wycombe at Butler's Hangings at the top of the slope there.
