TOTAL NUMBER OF SPECIES RECORDED IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND COMBINED IN 2011

2011 proved to be a RECORD YEAR with no less than 452 species recorded in Britain and Ireland. It happened to coincide with a year that I took out from Year Listing and frustratingly I saw just 69% of this year's bumper total

Wintering ARCTIC TERN in north of Scotland



This ARCTIC TERN has probably been present since the 11 November when it was seen in the background of a news item on Scottish TV News featuring the Nigg Yard, Cromary Firth. A few days later an Arctic Tern was reported from Dornoch, and I first saw this bird on the 29/11. It has been present on and off at Portmahomack ever since (Dave Tanner)
