Good score!
I've only managed 70 species on my local patch this year, but that is out of 70 recorded . . .
(i.e., no-one else watches the place!!)

At least twenty sightings of Bittern.
Little Egret.
A flyover White Stork (origin unknown)
Five Common Scoter.
One female Scaup.
Two Marsh Harrier.
One Osprey.
One Goshawk.
More Buzzard records than ever before.
Numerous Hobby and Peregrine.
Out of the 31 species of wader that were recorded,
Pectoral Sandpiper
American Golden Plover
Purple Sandpiper
Two Bar-tailed Godwit
And a flock of 21 Knot were the highlights.
Also three Glaucous Gull, two Med Gull,
lots of Little Gull.
Sandwich Tern
Water Pipit
Two Waxwing
Plus many more, I really had a good year.
