Snettisham hilights
Short-eared Owl and Smew
After adding Red-throated Diver as the final patch tick of the year, my Snettisham year list was to finish on a new personal record of 181 species. Apart from Guillemot and Tree Pipit, and possibly Slavonian Grebe, most of the "expected" species were recorded, with a total of 14 patch ticks seen within the year...
Smew - Hawfinch - Red Kite - Mealy Redpoll - Common Crane - White Stork - Pacific golden Plover - Little Auk - Long-tailed Duck - Great Skua - Little Bunting -Snow Goose - Red-necked Grebe - Razorbill
Species that I managed to miss included Spoonbill, Manx and Sooty Shearwaters, Pom Skua, WRSandpiper, Grey Phalarope, Black-eared Kite, Goosander, Arctic Tern and Iceland Gull, all of which would have been snettisham ticks.
Black-eared Kite, Goosander and Lapland Bunting start off the 2007 dip list...
A total of 184 species were recorded at Snettisham RSPB last year...

wow!!! what a list you've got there....hope you get more in 2007.
Still a few gaps to fill... species I really want to get include Goosander, Firecrest and Arctic Tern... at least I bagged the Kite!
Not forgetting Honey Buzzard... with the exeption of RFFalcon, WTEagle, or anything even rarer, thats the only raptor thats missing.
