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

TREE SPARROWS in Stoke Goldington

Sunday evening at 7pm there was a vocal gathering (flock?) of at least a dozen TREE SPARROW in Hawthorn and Blackthorn along the footpath leading to the Church in Stoke Goldington. I have not seen a Tree Sparrow in the village for at least two years, so this is a significant record. I suspect that these birds have been making use of the two garden feeding stations nearby (per Keith).
