Month list additions

I managed 2 short walks yesterday, 09:30 I added Coal Tit to Decembers list, along the Loddon opposite the green bridge...where 85% of records come from. 30+ Wigeon at LFGP, 2-3 Snipe and 200-300 Lapwing on the landfill, just visible in the mist.

At 16:00 I went to Bittern Hide, 9 Snipe, reasonable numbers of Teal, then on leaving the hide a Barn Owl peered out of the box, but just for a moment. Another month addition.

Today, I had a brief walk around the car park and to Bittern Hide, 40+ Redwing and 40 Fieldfare went East, a Grey Wagtail flew to the Emm Brook,  a Mistle Thrush over low East, both month additions, bringing the month total to 74, just one short of last December, but 16 short of the 2010 record.

The top Decembers are:

86 in 2010
84 in 2011
83 in 2009
81 in 2006 & 2007
