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

Manor Farm this evening

COMMON REDSTART again along the Ridge at Manor Farm this evening, again a female for a time in exactly the same bush as last weekends bird but this looked a much smarter clean cut individual but could be Paul M and Rob N's 'second' bird. If so now on site for the sixth day. Also as I was leaving as darkness fell a rather scruffy female WHINCHAT on the barbed wire fence running south to north down the hill from the farm building. Apart from that a lone Green Sandpiper and a pair of Common Terns getting what for from a pack of Jackdaws were the only other real birds of interest (Chris Gleadell)
