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

After the rain - LGRE

TUESDAY 10 AUGUST

After the Rain........

I managed to get in a few hours birding this evening as the heavy rain experienced all day started to gradually move away. It did not appear to have dropped any additional waders in.....

FULMER LAKE (SOUTH BUCKS)

The two GREEN SANDPIPERS were still present, feeding on the muddy pools at the west end of the lake.

Otherwise, 1 adult Mute Swan, a female Tufted Duck, 27 Coot, Grey Heron, 2 Lapwing, 6 Moorhen, male Pied Wagtail, 2 Stock Dove, Green Woodpecker, 8 European Barn Swallows, 2= BULLFINCHES and a pair of REED BUNTINGS.

DORNEY ROWING LAKES (SOUTH BUCKS)

The Seasonal Pool is now completely dry whilst much of the Reserve Pool is overgrown. Three Common Greenshanks were present this morning (Dave Cleal) but were not present this evening, just 126 Atlantic Canada Geese, 8 Egyptian Geese, 8 Great Crested Grebes and 1 Common Tern.

A total of 50 Ring-necked Parakeets flew east to roost whilst 15 Sand Martins went through in the opposite direction. Some 28 Pied Wagtails were gathered at the extreme north end
