Birds seen within Leicester city boundry. (1 Viewer)

Update on the city list: Thanks is due Mark Skevington who told me that I had missed three species off the list, Shoveler, Cormorant and Little Ringed Plover and the addition of Turtle Dove over WCPS on the 18th. The list now stands at 118.
Cheers,
Dave.
 
A Quick update on the city list:
I found a Caspian and a Yellow legged Gull yesterday@ Watermead CP South. Other birds I have seen and heard over the week have included Brambling, 3 Crossbills and Rock Pipit over the mammoth viewpoint! So the totals on the doors have now reached 125, so maybe Steve I might just reach 130 before the end of the year?!

Cheers,
Dave.
 
Just a quick update: No more species as yet, but I have found 3 Caspian Gulls (2 Adts and 1 first-winter) over the last week at Watermead CP South. This is probably only the third, fourth and fifth records for the city boundaries!

Cheers,
Dave.
 
Up date on my city list:
My list is currently on 126 for the city with the latest sighting of an Egyptian Goose flying over Birstall Meadows towards to the city centre on the 18th.
So with a few days left of the year I don't think I'm going to add to my total as i'm off to Scotland for the New Year on the 29th.

Cheers,
Dave.
