Hmmmm. Ok. I've never done a truly large year list but from British & Irish Listing and also a bit of a British Yearlist in 1994, a lot of the fun and spirit of twitching is sharing updates and information with 'competitors'. The true spirit is far more collaborative than appearing out of the shadows nearly half way through?? Albeit we all know people who operate in that way.
Come on Noah. It seems there will be a genuine three way scrap - just like the iconic book - and surely there will be a new record.
I'll get the other two lists into the spreadsheet later:-

The comments on Alaskan strategy attached to the blog are fascinating. This year will be written up in the same way as the book. Let's hope we get as good an author:-

I'm now more excited about this than a Dalmatian Pelican. I hope it lives up to my expectation.
All the best
