I have hit 130 or above for the last 10 years, if I can do it this year somehow 11 consecutive years sounds even better to me. The question is with such a slow start and lockdown, do we normally see enough new species Sept to Dec for me to reach it?
Pintail - Seen every September since 2014, except 2018
Garganey - Seen 5 out of the last 10 years in Sept, or Oct
Red Crested Pochard - Seen 2 out of the last 10 years in Dec
Marsh Harrier - Seen 6 out of the last 10 Septembers
Osprey - 4 Augusts and 1 Oct in the last 10 years
Merlin - 5 out of 10 Octobers, or Novembers
Ruff - 4 Out of 10 Decembers
Jack Snipe - 4 Out of 10 Octobers, Novembers or Decembers
Curlew - 4 Out of 10 Sept, Oct, or Decembers
Spotted Redshank - Wildcard, but late August to early Sept is best window
Little Gull - Rare in the Autumn, but keep checking
Yellow-legged Gull - Wildcard
Arctic Tern - Late Aug, but also Sept records in 90's
Tree Pipit - A few days left to catch on going over
Rock Pipit - With the gravel being consolidated into specific locations, we are long overdue a bird on the deck
Ring Ouzel - Wildcard, must go over most years
Yellow-browed Warbler - We've had 2 in 7 years
Firecrest - Overlooked and likely most years
Pied Flycatcher - Still time if we check hard
Brambling - Oct onwards for fly overs and around the feeders
Linnet - Mid Oct to early Nov is best passage
Lesser Redpoll - Become rarer as a wintering species, but passage in Oct to Nov
