I suspect that this is contributed to by the fact that the photos now show him wearing binoculars:-<a href="http://www.audubon.org/news/day-123-shelf" target="_blank">http://www.audubon.org/news/day-123-shelf</a>He has a further 15 days in Mexico, 19 in the USA (Texas, Arizona, California, Oregon and New York) and 16 in Europe (Norway, Turkey and Spain) but is already 54 ahead of the current record's combined Americas and Europe list. Alternatively, he is ahead of where the current record was on 12th June!I'm looking forward to finding out what he can achieve in the USA from three weeks and Europe from a fortnight. 3,000 before he has finished in Europe?All the best</blockquote>
