Two hundred comfortably inside the first third of the year, plenty of time to knock off another hundred. Go Gary!

Only 99 now John with the addition of Little Owl (#201) at Frampton Marsh. Gary should now be in Norfolk.

Gary added Woodlark (#202) today at an undisclosed site in north-west Norfolk.

Woodlark.... undisclosed site.... yawn. If you're going to suppress something, make it something interesting!

Golden Pheasant (#203) chalked up today by Gary - no need to surpress that site
Luckily, despite thinking about it, he didn't get as far as Cley for the reported Wood Sand ....

A day clearing up a few regular summer visitors - Sedge Warbler (#204) and male Redstart (#205) at Titchwell followed by a male Pied Flycatcher (#206) at Holme NWT.

Bravo - getting that one away now will cause less heartburn later!

Despite finding a Hoopoe at Holme NWT there were no ticks today for Gary in North Norfolk.

After Tuesday's blank a return to form today for Gary with the addition of Eider off the coast of Titchwell (#207), House Martin at Titchwell itself (#208) and Cuckoo in Burnham Overy Dunes (#209).
Other sightings included 3 Ring Ouzel, Spoonbills and a Great White Egret as well as booming Bittern.

After a tough couple of days in the rain in North Norfolk Gary is currently relocating to Minsmere (should be there later today) for Savi's Warbler, Stone Curlew etc). Easterlies from Wednesday onwards are promising.

An afternoon's birding at Minsmere saw Gary add Reed Warbler (#210), Common Tern (#211) and Savi's Warbler (#212), a species he didn't encounter as part of his total of 289 last year.

A full day at Minsmere saw Gary tick Stone Curlew (#213) and Swift (#214) plus seconds of the Savi's Warbler, several Bitterns in flight and 10 Whimbrel migrating north.
With the winds having an easterly element from tomorrow lunchtime Gary is likely to spend a few more days in the Minsmere / Dunwich / Westleton area with targets including Arctic Tern, Garden Warbler, Grasshopper Warbler, Tree Pipit, Whinchat, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Hobby and Nightingale.

Gary moved on from Minsmere today down to Alton Water, adding Arctic Tern (#218) and Black Tern (#219), a species he managed to miss last year.

After a two day bike ride another new species for the year and another not recorded in 2015 with the Iberian Chiffchaff in Margate (#220).

A frustrating day for Gary in the Stodmarsh / Grove Ferry area today, missing out on Turtle Dove and Grasshopper Warbler but adding Hobby (#221) late on.

Looking at his omissions on BUBO, surely breeding Woodcock & Tree Pipit in North Kent and some Garden Warbler around?
All the best

I think he has targeted Dersingham Bog for both those species when he is back in Norfolk in approx a fortnight's time.
