Jan review

I had a quick look back to check if January was as bad as I thought and it wasn't really, those January's scoring parity, or lower than 81 are :

81 in 2004
76 in 2009 & 2007
75 in 2008 & 2003
69 in 2002

So on reflection, whenflooding doesn't make it impossible, we have better coverage now, with a few more species showing up more regularly, such as Nuthatch, Ring-necked Parakeet, Meadow Pipit and Little Egret, but whilst we seem to get more species in January since 2010, we have lost Ruddy Duck, Caspian and Yellow-legged Gulls, Linnet and Yellowhammer.

Today, Sandford Lane was of course flooded again, so I stuck to the aviation musuem loop, Alan saw LSW near Sandford Copse earlier. I just saw Nuthatch, Goldcrest and heard Bullfinch.
