Hi everyone, Sorry for the late posting on this year's event but computer connection problems stopped me posting earlier!
Last week's race was the best recorded with a total of 77 species seen on the day.
Four teams of two took part and the team scores were:
Team A = 50 species. Team B = 65 species. Team C = 65 species. Team D = 66 species. (Ian B & John H.)
The highlights of the day were:
Mute Swan, pair including sitting bird, Buzzard, 1, Coot, 1 location, Snipe, several "chipping" birds with maybe 4 different territories involved so better numbers, Little Owl, just one bird, Kingfisher, Green Woodpecker, 1 or two, Wood Warbler, 2 different singing birds, Whitethroat, several singing birds, Spotted Flycatcher, at least two sites, Nuthatch, at least two locations, Treecreeper, Siskin, 1 over,
Several species known to summer in our recording area were not seen on the day, for example Sparrowhawk, and so the 80+ mark could realisticly be a future target!
