The park record is 142 set in 1983.
The park year list currently stands at 140 not including a pending Grasshopper Warbler, which I wait for CDRH to give his verdict on. We have blown it on Whimbrel this year, but am sure they are annual, so we just missed connecting, most frequently they go thru early a.m.
Sandwich Tern might still go thru early I had one 26th Sept 1992, but there are no October records.
We are running out of time for Whinchat and Black Tailed Godwit, but either could still occur between now and late October, the latter as late as November. A Scaup could show up anytime and Smew do sometimes come thru late Nov to Dec.From October there are lots of possibilities including Short Eared Owl, Rock Pipit, Brent Goose, Ferruginous Duck, Ruddy Duck, Yellowhammer, but maybe we will get and overdue Yellow Browed Warbler, Red-necked Grebe, Great Northern, or other Diver?
Happy birding
