If anyone thinks any species are missing, please let me know. Gary, were there no Lapwing in Eyes Lane? Have I got all your sightings?

Re: Species recorded in 2016
Have you included the over-wintering Blackcap I posted on 7th at Croston Park?
Seen again today in the cottage gardens on Grape Lane backing onto Croft Field with a mixed flock of Tits and a Goldcrest.

Re: Species recorded in 2016
Sorry, Paul. I've overlooked Blackcap, probably because I thought it was already on the list, having had one in my own garden recently, but unfortunately at the end of last year. Blackcap takes us to 86.
Re: Species recorded in 2016
Neil, I got the raven at Whittle this morning. Couldn't see any up at Wheelton/Brinscall.
