Points per species in January

There has been a couple of enquiries about who has the highest points per species ratio. So, never wanting to disappoint I decided to see who was top and where the high scoring birds were. Not really a surrise as the Scottish Islands and Ireland take up all the top 10 places, in fact they take up 15 of teh top 20 spots. Finding a Gyr falcon always helps gain a good points total and so it has proved in this table, Ian's 12 pointer giving him 1.396 points per species. The non-competitive Paul H isn't too far behind with 1.366 pts/sp followed by a fellow Orkadian patch, Alastair F on 1.314 pts/sp.

    Ian T says true to family tradition he's peaked early and the only way is down now :-D and having to spent the last month down on the mainland definitely won't help...

      and you never know, you could have a Harlequin duck in your patch soon :-) That would boost your average!!

    It certainly seems to be the place to be especially when you consider that there is also a Gyr about avoiding your patches (so far)!!!
