Year Listing in the UK

Lee Evans has been Year-listing in the UK since 1977 and has achieved annual totals of over 300 species ever since. Although he has recorded in excess of 360 species on some nine occasions, his record stands at 386 species - achieved in 1996. Adrian Webb in Year 2000 recorded at least 378 species, making him by far the highest-listing individual to compare with Lee. In terms of Life Listing, Lee has recorded 577 species in Britain and Ireland and 853 species in the wider Western Palearctic region.

GREEN-WINGED TEAL added









North American Green-winged Teal, Budds Farm Sewage Works, Hants, February 2010 (Richard Ford; Bernie Forbes; Nick Bond and Alan Lewis)

THURSDAY 11 FEBRUARY

There was a light snow covering at dawn and later, as I drove to the South Coast, West and East Sussex from East Grinstead and Polegate east to at least Hastings was covered in at least four inches of lying snow.

All 3 LITTLE EGRETS were by Church Covert early morning.

EAST SUSSEX: Driving west along the A27 between Drusillas Zoo at Arlington and Charlestone Farmhouse, the fields were covered in both Lapwing and Fieldfare - in fact, the number of the latter were at least 1,000.

BUDDS FARM, LANGSTONE HARBOUR (HAMPSHIRE)

The drake NORTH AMERICAN GREEN-WINGED TEAL was showing well at 1615 hours, feeding on one of the circular filter beds, just north of the main pools. There were also 38 Common Teal, 15 Shoveler, 40 Gadwall and the odd Tufted Duck and Northern Pochard. The GWT represented my 162nd bird in Britain this year.

WATERLOOVILLE

A pair of Eurasian Sparrowhawks was in circular display over woods just east of the A3
