60 up
#BWKM0 ND&B garden challenge
DAY 37
Our Bridport correspondent (Gavin H) is on a roll, having had much success with his new noc-mig recording gear. After a Stone Curlew earlier in the week, he has followed this up with a Nightjar last night, which had the decency to call while he was out in the garden. My own 'naked' efforts have really hit a slump, with very little being heard beyond Tawny Owls and Foxes. But the show must go on, I know that the birds are up there...
We also welcome our 60th garden into the collective. Still 12 days to go...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OUR COMBINED TOTAL (BRITISH ISLES GARDENS) IS 177 SPECIES Still to be recorded are: Pochard, Common Sandpiper, any skua, Arctic Tern, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Kingfisher, Whinchat.
Our oversea's gardens (New Zealand and Albania) add an additional 22 SPECIES
Today's additions are: Nightjar (Gavin H)
You can find the combined #BWKM0 list by clicking on the right-hand tab above.
