A spontaneous afternoon divert to Wanstead Flats got me my 100th bird of the year - and not something I expected.

19/10 - Wanstead Flats
100 - Mediterranean Gull

Bad birthday caused me to go for a calming visit to Rainham Marshes, and get three new birds!

101 - Eurasian Curlew
102 - Short-eared Owl
103 - European Stonechat

Went Firecrest hunting - found something else.

A trip out with the LNHS got me two common species I hadn't been sure enough of to cross off before.

07/11 - Ruislip Lido
105 - Eurasian Sparrowhawk
106 - Redwing

Morning visit got my final woodpecker and the other winter thrush, neither of which I can remember seeing before - so two lifers.

18/11 - Richmond Park
107 - Lesser Spotted Woodpecker
108 - Fieldfare

Not a bad start to the week despite some poor weather.

05/12 - Rainham Marshes
112 - Water Pipit
113 - Western Barn Owl
114 - Peregrine Falcon

Getting in close to the wire with what is probably my last new species of the year - but a lifer and quite a notable one at that!

28/12 - Brent Reservoir
115 - Yellow-browed Warbler

Turns out it wasn't my last species after all - spontaneous trip out today got me one in at the last minute.

31/12 - Beddington Farmlands
116 - Lesser Redpoll

Also, I retroactively am adding in Rock Dove/Feral Pigeon, I see no point in leaving it off so it becomes 117 altogether for the year.
