I stood out in the snow today in the garden to see what was about and was rewarded with a new garden tick (I have kept a list for 14 years) a Common Gull. This was the 60th species I've recorded. (My personal rarities committee does believe two records are dodgy though).
In addition I saw 26 Lapwings, only the 4th time I've seen them in the 14 years. The rest was normal fare, Fieldfare over, Sparrowhawk being the highlights of a fairly prosaic list, Mistle Thrush was a garden year tick.
So 20 species in all without really trying.
