Now 4480 with Purple Sandpiper and Collared Flycatcher*

*unless its a PiedxCollared...whats that worth? I havent seen pied (yet) this year and whilst I anticipate doing so if this is a hybrid, i have seen a ficedula for 0 ficedula points.

 

[simmojunior]

I have only just found this now. I would like to join if that is possible. I will look through my field books to get a total but would need a list of the species and the points for each one. Also if you see a bird earlier in the year that is not self found and later in the year find your own one, can you get the self found bonus?

 

[Jacana]

i'm on 4225 now after adding 31 new birds including 8 lifers (Quail (self found), Bluethroat, Blue-winged Teal, Baird's Sandpiper, Cirl Bunting, Wryneck, Icterine Warbler and Storm Petrel) and 1 uk lifer (Kentish Plover). Other highlights include: Long-eared Owl, Pectoral Sandpiper, Sooty and Balearic Shearwaters, Crane, Red-backed Shrike and a very early Jack Snipe.

Sadly Owen I believe its 100 points, I guess the Housefinch would have to be the same until the 'higher powers' make judgement.
