This was the final position I believe - Middleton had 93, Marsh Lane and Belvide both 86, Venus Pool 80, Sandwell Valley 74 and Grimley 83
Highest individual totals at UW were myself on 75, Mike on 77 and Paul Croft rolling back the years with 79

Spring All-Day Birdwatch - 3rd May 2014

15. Grey Heron - single fly-over birds
16. Little Egret - 2 over the Flashes mid afternoon

67. Chiffchaff

82. Greenfinch
83. Bullfinch
84. Goldfinch
85. Linnet
86. House Sparrow - "back of the Moors Pool"
87. Reed Bunting
The obvious missing birds were Teal, Pochard and Med Gull (all present in the week) and Goldcrest. The day had the "feel" of a large raptor but there wasnt even a sniff despite much sky-gazing.
Equally important to the list of birds was the craic on the day with at least 7 different cakes strategically deployed (top marks to Rob and Claire for their baking efforts) and the useful rounds of bacon sarnies. Many thanks to all those who participated, including (I have probably forgotten several): Mike Wh, Mike Wa, John B, John R, Stuart, Paul C, Paul A, Dave W, Dave J, Wayne, Gert, Neil, Graham & Alastair, Des, Phil W, Peter, Terry & Rosemary, Ian & Claire, Phil & Margaret, Jared, Simon, Rob, Chris, Tracey, Gary, Tim & Mary, Daniel, Andy, Glenn, Gavin, Trevor and Paul R.
The 2013 annual reports are now distributed to Rob E and John B to sell on (copy put aside for you Craig :t - if anyone wants any back copies we will see if we have then in Mike's reserve; if not I will print off a small run.
Great effort as always Uptoneers! :t::t:BB
