With Brian seeing 2 Coal Tit on them feeders on the other side of the Loddon today, it equals 2003's February count of 84, 4th place. It will take just 3 more to match 3rd place of 87 in 2013 and I think that is more likely than unlikely.
There is plenty of time left to secure stuff that is no doubt around, but simply hasn't been reported yet, i.e. Ring-necked Parakeet & Bittern.
As I've already said, we have a very good chance of Redshank and Meadow Pipit being seen and adding those would match 2008's 2nd place score of 88.
But always the optimist, we might also have a chance of Linnet, Brambling, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Yellow-legged & Med Gull, Jack Snipe, Woodcock, Ruff, Curlew, Green Sandpiper, Goosander, or Smew. So even the 1st place of 92 in 2012, could fall, if we had an exceptional last 12 days.
