Pete,
It's about 10 minutes b4 dusk!
But get in the 'old' Tower hide and it is 10 minutes that will be etched in your memory forever! You get views OVER the Harriers, and if you see a full adult Male....well, what an absolute STUNNER.
How's Welney.......like the Sea I guess??!!! Bramblings are a lovely bird to see no matter where ever you are.
With the weather being so foul, I stayed indoors. I'm praying for decent weather tomorrow.....I'm going Stir Crazy!!!

HI FOLKS, I DID SUMMARY TOTALS FOR JANUARY 2004.
Listed is everyone that posted a definite number after January 10th. Many obviously quit updating (tsk, tsk!), so if you PM me, I will update your January Total here. If anyone who quit posting before January 11 or anyone new to the thread wants to add their Name and Number for January to this list, please PM me also.
On to FEBRUARY. Should we count from 1 again, with a running total in parentheses? It makes for an interesting overview of monthly productivity at the end of the year. Same thread, or should we move to a February 2004 one? Well, do as you will.
My FEBRUARY LIST is at 2 (114), as of today's patch walk: Green Pheasant and Chinese Bamboo Partridge.
Bonne chance!

Hi Charles a good idea I managed to walk my local patch today nothing new for the year but saw 47 species so thats
47 (110) if we keep it in this thread it could end up as the biggest thread in the forums history! so lets see how long the admin let us get away with it

I lumbered up to 109 today. Last weekend I managed Yellowhammer and, slightly more impressively, Snow Bunting. Today I added Sparrowhawk (blush), Twite, Brambling and Ruff.

Hi Carlos
The 47 are new ticks for February my local patch is quite productive for common birds I dont get many rarities but its a 4 ish mile walk the first 2 miles through a Dene with a small stream running through it its part farmland and mostly mixed woodland , the second 2 miles is cliffs overlooking the North sea no mudflats or reedbeds but still ok for a good mix of gulls,and some waders, it finishes at the local docks. I have never realy counted up how many birds I can get in the 4 hours or so it usualy takes me to walk round but today was fairly typical for this time of year

Glad you all are hanging in here, but it's a YEAR LIST. First digit should be new birds for the year, and second (in parentheses) should be year-to-date total. I'm sitting at 2(114) which is 114 species for the year with 2 new ones in February so far. Man, you WILL have the longest thread in history if we start all over again each month! This thread should be really refined and rare by the time we get to December.
Cheers,

Damn, Simon! No cancer sticks! Good on you, lad. Carrot sticks and commitment will carry you through. Remember, every day it gets a little bit less horrible...

Nice one Andrew...was that you that reported the Branscombe Yellow-browed today?

Well, I finally have some birds on my 2004 list. I started out real slow and just got up to 67 on the 25th of Jan. Then we made a little weekend trip to the next state and did some serious birdwatching (see report in "Your Birding day" forum). So with that my year list grew and stands at (55) 122. This includes 17 lifers this year bringing my total to 396.
