6. Tony Dunn..........................81

9. Carol Thistlethwaite.............70
10. Bryan Thomas.....................-2
If anybody disagrees with the above, or would like to be added to the list, please let me know.

Neil,
I'm suprised at the grand total, thought it would be mid/late 90's! And that means I've missed 20 so far! Must try harder.
Is there any simple way of getting copy of the list or could it be posted somewhere on the Society web pages or forum?
One good thing I've realised about this yearlist challenge is that it's making me target seeing specific species and that is taking me to places I haven't been before or in a long time and that in the end must be good for the societies records.
Must plan ahead now to work out where I need to go to pick up 8 year ticks??

year list.
I agree. Only for Gary starting this list I would not be making such an effort to find certain birds. I still have 5 pretty common birds to get yet that Gary has got. Nora.

Mistakes increases my total to 95 .
After looking at the overall total of 107 species it meant there was 15 species i had not seen , going through the birds i had not seen they only totalled 12 species meaning i had missed 3 birds after going through the whole list i worked out the birds were , buzzard , skylark and nuthatch , the 12 species ive not seen are gw egret , mandarin , gadwall, water rail , green sandpiper , med gull, ls pecker , blackcap , brambling, l redpoll, hawfinch, black redstart , i must buy myself a notebook as it proves you cannot remember everything you see my chorley year list is now 95 species ( sorry nora ).
