81. Scandinavian race blackbird
82. Greenland white-fronted geese (RSPB Ken-Dee Marshes)
83. Pale-bellied Brent geese
84. Surf scoter
85. Pochard
(24 Nov - 6 little egrets + another 572 birds present on estuary here)



If this sticks on 85 total for the year, which is 81 without birds seen outside own region
I would just like to reiterate that this will be 81 species seen all year IN A 20 MILE radius of home, mostly within a 10 mile radius, I live (luckily) in a very bird-diverse place.

31 Dec - nothing to add, but find have double-used number 80 and also double counted long-tailed tit, so total for 2011 should be 85 species. Less 4 seen outside own region, this makes 81 species seen in Dumfries & Galloway, mostly 20 miles of Galloway in 2011.
So will be aiming to beat an 81 "home" count or an 85 species total for my 2012 list.
