Tom Raven's amazing year just keeps going as he adds another 5% in October including yet more bonus points for a self-found Pectoral Sandpiper. Chuck in a Black-necked Grebe and that is a decent haul. Tom Stevenson moved into second and added 8% as he goes onto 115% at Ewelme Watercress Beds. Whilst Tom doesnt match his namesake for diversity he has made 105 visits this year and has deservedly improved on his comparative with a drake Mandarin providing the gloss. Josie Hewitt drops to third as she didnt get a score in. Roger Hicks' patch, Henlow Grange, is the seventh to hit the magic three figures with Short-eared Owl and Brambling this months gains whilst Tim Farr is making gains albeit slowly. Just. one. more. point...

| Ring-necked Duck (Tring Reservoirs) - Ian Bennell |
Tom Raven continues to hold a handsome points lead and extends it this month as Lee Evans holds on to second place thanks to a drake Ring-necked Duck on Tring Reservoirs which Ian Bennell also connected with. Alas no bonus points for either this time. Nigel Milbourne who patches Blagdon is in a very close third as the Lesser Scaup ventured back to Blagdon and he added a self-found Great White Egret. Adam Bassett is just a point off the top three and he made hay with a male Hen Harrier and Short-eared Owl.
