YEARLISTING IN 2016

Compared to most recent years, when for example I recorded 165 species in the county in 2011, 187 in 2012 and 173 in 2013, this has been a particularly poor one with just 157 species recorded by mid December - one of my worst years on record

YEARLISTING IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE

It's all over - 2012 has come to an end. I managed a total of 187 out of the 198 species recorded all told in Buckinghamshire - 94% of the total - probably my highest-ever annual tally.

The current record is 191 species achieved in 2006 and held jointly by both Rob Hill and Simon Nichols

Another OSPREY

14 May 2010: An OSPREY was watched well at Tyringham Bridge from approx. 4.30pm to 5pm by several local observers. Initially it was perched at the top of the dead tree just upstream of the bridge, sporting a silver ring on the right leg, and a black tag on the left leg. It eventually drew the attention of Corvids and flew briefly upstream towards Newport Pagnell, before circling back over Tyringham Clinic and then followed the river downstream towards Ravenstone Mill and possibly Emberton Park.
