447 i think with upgrade of Siberian Stonechat to full species.
That fits in. My 446 excluded Sibe. Stonechat.

I think you're getting a bit ahead of yourselves with Sibe Stonechat lads. As far as I'm aware it has only been recommended for elevation to full species status. It's almost certainly a formality but won't be countable until the BOU announce it in the next edition of Ibis.

To be fair Garry whilst you are right, the BOU have never rejected a taxonomic committee recommendation so its a pretty safe bet - especially as Martin Collinson is chairman and on the Taxonomic sub-committee. Surely academic suicide to write a paper and then reject the papers suggestions...
Now I'll admit to being a bit forgetful myself, but this is in a different league. Just come up on Birdguides;
Lost Camera at Spurn Nikon D80 and 500mm lens left in Canal Scrape hide at c.15:00. If found please phone 07900 88 5055. Thank you
Thought I'd spread awareness and if you are reading I hope you get it back!
Anyone going for the GND may want to know there was a female Scaup on Scammonden today as well.
Anyone know what time the Glauc flew through Spurn today?

If I'd connected with these I'd be joint 17th on the YB rankings. Some really painful memories in that list. At least some of them will fall - hopefully soon, even if some never will.
Cetti’s Warbler
They must be resident, someplace in yorkshire?? or do they just skip `the magic kingdom` and arrive at coastal spots in northumb? (breeding in teeside as well)
Quick question - are we still on 446?
