Started off with two Great Northern Divers at scammonden,5 Bullfinch 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker and 3 Goldeneye,Walshaw Dean produced nowt except 2 red Grouse.Managed another 20 species around and about.
Scaup Tufted duck, GCGrebe at EGP.Although everyone calls it Cromwell Bottom these days it will allways be Elland Gravel Pits to me.
70 species were seen last year from in and around the house,pretty good i reckon Honey Buzzard,Bewick's swans ,Common Buzzard,Tree Pipit,Crossbills,Snow Bunting,Spotted Flycatcher ,Teal,Pink Footed Goose ,Whitethroat but the bird/s of last year were the breeding Lesser spotted Woodpeckers at Lightcliffe it was the first time Id watched this elucive species at such close quarters a real treat.all the best for the new year......

must of just missed you.off the top of my head it was around the 14th of feb which was a curlew at ringstone and to top it off i was with gordon,so battered the 100 birds in a 100 days!!!
bLOODY HELL ,THAT WAS A QUICK 100
yes it was quick but then the other 10 months go so slow.
couldnt agree more on elland gp!cromwell bottom sounds crap!
I was thinking the same today 40+ species in the first 3 days of the year and that leaves 362 days ,to find 100+ species...now thats dull.............
its the patch birds and good finds that make the difference!
Yep lets hope for some good luck this year,its about time we had an excellent autumn wader passage,
water rail at sunny vale.....a good start
Mute Swan was the best,they are not nailed on these days.///////////????
