Year List predictions

I found I had not even put Spotted Flycatcher on the list, so I didn't need to remove it, which is a bit slack actually, as it has been seen 5 consecutive years and at least 8 other years in late August since records began. They bred on DP until 1982.

I also feel it was overlooked in numerous years from the late eighties and to be frank, the Loddon and most of the rest of the park is not covered well enough to establish if more come thru ....and they probably do despite the terrible decline nationwide.

So we are about out of time for Wood Warbler and probably Ringed Plover too, but this coming week is Whinchat, Redstart and Whimbrel week, so good coverage is essential.
