Done it at last. 300 BOU up with...

307: GREEN HERON - Red Wharf Bay, Anglesey 19/11

Can concentrate on the mocks now... with a few diversions to megas..

Recent misfortune has meant I haven't seen anything interesting since the heron, and have missed/dipped on species such as Upland Sandpiper and Grey-cheeked Thrush. Also currently missing Hume's Leaf Warbler, and alot more importantly, Sociable Plover.

A change in fortune, possibly. What is likely to my bird of the year, a great find from Paul French:

308: AMERICAN BUFF-BELLIED PIPIT - Wyberton Marsh, Lincolnshire 13/12

Wahey! After a recent Sociable Plover dip, it was refreshing to get out ticking:

309: Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler - Filey, N Yorks 22/12
