I thought my list ( see right column) was a bit light. I have double checked and find that I have missed off a whopping - 17 species! They are -
Canada Goose
Gadwall
Teal
Tufted Duck
Fulmar
Manx Shearwater
Ringed Plover
Golden Plover
Lapwing
Knot
Common Sandpiper
Feral Pigeon
Kingfisher
Sedge Warbler
Whitethroat
Brambling
Linnet
Taking the list up to a respectable 154 ( 2010 - 161, 2009 - 147). some very common species there that have been overlooked.
Note to self, must do better with record keeping in 2012. I've been concentrating on the moths too much!

Not entirely related to the post Stu, but have to say how great the ivory gull sketch is!
Tch! Tch! I'll come up and give you some record keeping lessons Stewart :-)
154 sounds like a very good years work and that far away from last years 161.
John - Its the Montrose bird of 2001. Almost 10 years to the day!
Warren - Noted.
Alan - Yes, its not bad for what seemed like a quiet year with no real easterlies or fall conditions.
Feral Pigeon ? well if you can count it then so can I.
one more added to my ,Year List, Bus List, Bike List, County List , Garden List ? not sure about that one !!!

Hello Brian, You must have a few off your list? No Pheasant, Red legged Partridge, Canada Goose or Mandarin on there? Skemmies breed more frequently in the wild in the county than any of them!
