So after a busy weekends birding with sadly no photographs, I was wodering what am I going to post. So this is one for the Anoracks, I have my own ACCESS Database for bird sightings from which I can keep yearlists special bird trips or any other exercise I wish to do. It will filter out information from all fields IE: running totals on yearlist or birds seen at any given location throughout the year. The species field was typed in manually and contains 731 species covering Britain ,Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. In the Cornwall Database I have entered over 1300 Grid locations in Cornwall and am adding new ones all the time.
So for January I set myself a target of 100 species for the month, and on Sunday morning the total stood at 97 and I needed 3 more for the ton. So on daybreak I located Tawny Owl in the trees at the back of the house (With the help of a 1 million candle power spotlight. ), then Stonechat at Marazion. Thinking I would not make it I made a detour to Carbis Bay on the way home, and was rewarded with Razorbills and Guillemots far out in the bay, Hey Hey made 101 well pleased with the start of the year.
So below is my month list for Jan and I hope it reads okay as I have just copied and Pasted it from Access, something I have not tried before.

That is one mother of a list, it is something that I don't do, maybe I should.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is one very impressive list Monty, well done, I could never begin to compete with that :)
ReplyDeleteWell done Monts...it is a great way to keep interest especially at the beginning of the New Year. It is my first attempt and i must say it does get a little additive. (Give it a try Sam)
ReplyDeleteSorry addictive.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Monty.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely one for the techies! I'll admit to using Wildlife Recorder asome simple excel worksheets.
ReplyDeleteGood start to the year Monty with about 24 that I haven't seen yet but then you are closer to the water!
I`ll have all on reaching 100 by the end of April, never mind in just January. Well done Monty.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for all the comments everyone, I feel that for me at least it is important to keep year lists. I have had a database since 2000 and find it a very useful tool as it allows me to filter information from specific sites year upon year and builds up what is likely to occur.
