Coastal East Anglia Minileague - October

Tim Hodge is still leading the way as he approaches the 350 point mark for Horsey while James Brown looks comfortable in second at Lowestoft with a 19 point cushion to Gary White in third. The fight for the bronze medal looks like it will go to the wire with 14 points separating four patches! Best finds of the month were standard October fair with a few Richard's Pipits, YBWs, Pallas's Warbler and Lapland Buntings making it onto more than one patch in October. The region also benefited from the recent Rough-legged Buzzard influx with three patchers finding one this month.

Gary White maintains a healthy lead in the comparative scores with a 16% lead. Less than 1.4% separates the next three patches, with Craig Fultcher leading the way, so the other spots in the top three are all to play for with two months to go.
