275 so far - includes day trips to Dorset, San Fransisco, and South Africa. Going to Madras on Monday, so should be over 300 soon...knackered already (and I vowed never to do a year list again after going nuts in 1991 and seeing almost 2000 species).

List's at http://www.charliesbirdblog.com/~charlie/2006list.html if anyone's interested (loads of photos on my homepage and internal links etc)

Cheers

Now on 97 with a trip along the Suffolk coast today. First stop Lowestoft for the Ross's gull which is my first lifer for the year and 249th for Suffolk.
