A good week for the full time listers, GWT relocated on the Monday & the 1st Mealy Redpoll for sometime was found at Methley triangle the same day.
The 1st ringed plover was also discovered, but none of these make my list yet.
On the Sunday, the 1st Avocet of the year was on Astley, possibly our earliest ever record. That took me to 102 but a gap is opening up between me and the top now. Ive missed GWT and Grey Plover, still a chance the GWT will be kicking around but the GP will be a fluke if it makes the final list.
A couple of certs surely are only a week away, and with spring on the door step, the migrants will be flooding in!
My patch birding year in the great Swilly listing challenge. As a full time worker, the time I can put in on patch is significantly lower than the majority of other listers. Friendly competition between the bird group. 2013 was my 1st proper listing year, but Swilly has been my patch for maybe 8 years now
