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.

  1. 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...

  3. 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)!!!
