New year - new blank list:

We started early- team of 4 and did a  traditional Jan 1st route  around the NW corner of Norfolk

8 1/2 hours and a  Chinese takeaway later it was 100 spp , 

The weather and wind direction were against us and some staked out regulars let us down - but it was better than last years !

Best birds were SEO, Tree Sparrow, Great Northern Diver , Black Necked Grebe, Cattle Egret, Bullfinch, Nuthatch, Marsh Tit.

    It was our group "big bird day" last weekend where a number of us try to see how many species we can find in our recording area. In our squares we got our first Cuckoo but most interesting bird for our area was a Common Crane, a bit of a rarity in our area. I'm not sure of the total number of species seen yet but we were hoping for 100 plus
