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

BEARDIES still on site

All 4 BEARDED TITS still present at Walton Lake. I saw them drop into the reed bed to roost up at 16:25, looking from the boardwalk. Three birds lost to sight straight away but one male showed quite well, feeding on seed head and foraging in lower reeds (Martin Kincaid)
