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

MARSH HARRIER and TEMMINCK'S

A female MARSH HARRIER was still present this afternoon at the new reserve on the River Ray, showing well at times, whilst later, from 1915 to at least 1945 hours, the TEMMINCK'S STINT was still showing well on the spit at Willen Lake North Basin, opposite the hide (along with Ringed Plover, Common Redshank, Oystercatcher, Little Egret, Cetti's Warbler and 6 Western Reed Warblers) (Lee Evans)

Warren Claydon later saw the MARSH HARRIER in the evening.
