Can anyone beat this? I added Osprey (94)today - but slightly artificially - I got on the bed after 'd seen it coming - so perhaps its cheating. Also upgraded Cuckoo to seen from bed from merely heard from bed!

I could have seen White-rumped Sand and White-winged Black Tern from bed quite easily had I thought about it at the time! Also I heard a Yellow-browed warbler within seconds of getting out of bed and my natural reaction was to run towards the call, not get back into bed and wait for it to call again!! I shall endeavour to make it to 100 this year!
