An update on the number of species recorded in the Old Moor area this year, I said the total at the end of January was 97 but I had missed one therefore revised total is 98. A further 5 species were added in February as follows :- Merlin on 9th (99), Egyptian Goose on 10th (100), Oystercatcher on 15th (101), Mandarin on 18th (102), and finally Red Kite on 23rd (103).
Already in March a further 2 species have been added, Sand Martin on Sunday (104) and Bean Goose today (105).
For comparison some other inland sites totals are as follows, Lound Nottinghamshire 112, Swillington West Yorkshire 112 and Upton Warren Worcestershire 93.
