83½ species! That's damned good going, especially since you spent so long at Hannafore.

You have given me inspiration for a "Bird Race" that I will be doing in Devon next month with a couple of friends. I aim to beat my record of 75 birds. There are a few on your list I could not get really such as the Hannafore Pipit!!!!
