Updated year list

With 3 months to go, still should get to my average total for a year, somewhere around 210 species. Always good to pass 200 and this should be achieved soon.

So: potential target birds for the remaining 3 months: white fronted goose, red breasted goose, bean goose, slavonian grebe,, glossy ibis, bewick's and whooper swan, velvet scoter, eider, rough legged buzzard, purple sandpiper, grey phalarope, glaucous gull, lesser spotted woodpecker, great grey shrike, crossbill.

Just half of these in a few months would be excellent, with many possible with trips to Norfolk, Dungeness and Essex coast. All will soon be revealed and, maybe, a rarity thrown in as well.
