Re: Year list challenge .
Cheers Gary and Len - I thought that Len was going to catch me at the end !
It’s been a great year with my personal highlights being Red Kite in Mawdesley, the Eyes Lane Whinchat, Paul’s Yellow Wagtail, the Winter Hill Black Redstart and the White Coppice Green Woodpecker together with super views of Barn Owl and Ring Ouzel. The Eyes Lane spring waderfest was also great fun.
Pied Flycatcher, Tree Pipit, Osprey, Hen & Marsh Harrier, Hawfinch and Manx Shearwater were the 7 I didn’t manage with Grasshopper Warbler being the only bird I heard only.
My predictions 12m ago of Firecrest and Cettis Warbler didn’t materialise. So, let’s go for Long Eared Owl and Glaucous Gull for 2019 !
Thanks to all who I’ve met taking part in the challenge during the year and all the best for 2019.
Happy New Year !!

Re: Year list challenge .
Well done John and everyone who took part, it proved as much fun as ever.
Birds of the year for me were my 3 first ever Chorley ticks - black redstart, pied flycatcher and yellow wagtail.
Happy New Year to all.

Re: Year list challenge .
Congratulations, John and thanks for pointing out the YLG and to Phil Rhodes for finding them. My year ends on 128. Must do better! This year's overall total came to 149 - pity we didn't make 150, though one or two species usually crawl out of the woodwork before the Annual Report is done.
Happy New Year everyone, when it all starts again!
