Well actually it is quiet, but only in the passage and rarity sense.
But on a monthly species count scale, that is a different matter. this year;
April's 106, was a new third highest, knocking 2014's 105 off No.3 position
May's 92 was equal third highest with 2007 & 2014
June's 82 was equal third highest with 2007
July's 91 was a new second highest, knocking 2014's 90 off No.2 position
And today, adding Green Sandpiper more puts us level with 2013's 88 and only 2 more to get to equal 3rd place of 90 in 2009, or 3 more for equal 2nd place 91 of 2011.
As I've already said there are a handful of potential additions to go, most likely being Fieldfare & Goldeneye, but a Stonechat is highly likely, as is Bittern.
Golden Plover, Firecrest, Rock Pipit, Yellowhammer and various waders are also possible.
