It’s as you
were at the top of the NGB league with Joe Stockwell on Portland leading the
way (as well as leading the national league). A very impressive 42 points
accumulated during August included a 4-pointer Western Bonelli’s Warbler and a
hatful of self-find bonuses including Long-tailed Skua, Cory’s Shearwater, Stone
Curlew and Wryneck. Tim Jones remains in the hunt for the top spot however,
finds of Icterine Warbler and Red-backed Shrike means he’s only a find of a
mega away from catching up. Ben Porter didn’t submit a score for Bardsey for
August but stays put to round off the podium positions.
Ben may well
be feeling the heat slightly due to Jack Bucknall’s St Mary’s patch making
gains in 4th position. 33 points added during August thanks to a heap
of seabirds including self-found Great Shearwater means he is only 18 points
away from the podium, a good autumn on the east coast could see him right up
there. Further down the league and sees James Common breaking into the top 10
thanks to a raptor hat-trick of Hobby, Red Kite and Marsh Harrier.
With only 23
points covering 9 places from 5th-13th the next couple of
months could see a dramatic shake up in this league, school and university may strike
at just the wrong time for some competitors however!
