So, as I suggested yesterday, there was still everything to play for in the second and third place stakes with just two days to go and the Motley Crew put in sometime yesterday and found an immature Glaucous Gull which was also new for the year for the reserve and nice round 170 for Guy & Dolls team out in front.
The GuilleNots tried valiantly to reinstate their one bird lead today but to no avail and have had to settle for joined second with the Motleys.
So here we have the final team scores for 2015. Well done to Guy & Dolls and their fantastic total. A superb 184 species were recorded throughout the year of which only a couple were not recorded by at least one team. The only new bird to the reserve list in 2015 was the ten second Great Grey Shrike that we all missed in October so let's hope that we manage to find something even better in 2016!
and so tomorrow it all starts again... good luck!
Oh and do not forget that I will be opening up at 0700 for the keen ones amongst you.
