Wales Minileague October 2015

While Alison is yet again sitting tight on the comparative top spot at LlanfairTH, Henry Cook is playing catch-up, and pushes his Little Orme patch into 2nd position giving him an increase of a whopping 11% since last month. In the battle for 5th position, Peter Howlett has pipped Adam Tilt with an increase of 6%, however, the competition is getting tighter with only a few percent currently separating the 5th, 6th & 7th spots.

Highlights including Firecrest and Yellow-browed Warbler have contributed to a fourteen point increase for David Carrington, allowing him to knock Barry Stewart down into 2nd place. As expected, Laurie Allnatt has slipped into 4th place with Paul Roberts stepping up onto the podium with 174 points and a tidy Dartford Warbler for the month.

With the help of a stonking self-found Alpine Swift, Henry Cook moved Little Orme into 5th position of the points league. Bonus points for Great White Egret and a Red-throated Diver saw Emma Cram move her Broughton and Llangennith patch up four places. Dan Rouse made an impressive jump from 13th to 8th position with a lovely selection of species - Cattle Egret, Marsh Harrier, Pectoral Sandpiper, Curlew Sandpiper, Little Stint and Yellow-browed Warbler - giving her thirty-five extra points this month.
