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.

A quiet local day dipping RUFFS












SUNDAY 17 APRIL

CHAFFINCH HOUSE, LITTLE CHALFONT (BUCKS)

A singing male BLACKCAP close to the garden and my first BRIMSTONE butterfly of the year.

HILLESDEN VILLAGE AND RESERVE SCRAPES (BUCKS)

At least 40 House Sparrows noted in and around the village but at the reserve, a search from the hide failed to locate any of Tim Watt’s 3 Ruff (see his excellent images above). I did see a pair of Oystercatchers, pair of LITTLE RINGED PLOVERS, 6 Common Redshank, 8 Lapwings, a drake Shoveler, 2 drake Common Teal and both Willow Warbler and Common Chiffchaff in the House grounds.

TRING RESERVOIRS (HERTS)

Little of note other than 4 Shoveler, 14 Common Terns and 5 Sand Martins on Wilstone, 4 Great Crested Grebes and 7 Mute Swans on Startop’s End Reservoir and 9 Shoveler, 2 singing CETTI’S WARBLERS and a SEDGE WARBLER on Marsworth Reservoir..
