Wales Minileague - November 2015

Will Alison get pipped at the post? With few additions after the spring (the usual story in the hills at LlanfairTH) Alison has two other competitors within 1.3% and just a single point for Alun John will take him past her 126.8% mark while Henry Cook in third needs 2 points on his Little Orme patch. There were no new additions to the 100% club with Julian Hughes still poised on 97.8% and Barry Stewart not far behind.

Firecrest - Peter Howlett

David Carrington stays top of the points minileague but has had his lead cut to five points by Mathew Meehan who jumps from 6th to 2nd at Newport Wetlands. David added Black Redstart this month whilst there was a Leach's Petrel for Mathew. Barry Stewart stays third despite a blank month. Henry Cook had a profitable time at Little Orme adding Hen Harrier, Lapland Bunting, Black Redstart and Black-throated Diver. Paul Roberts also had Black Redstart on the Ogmore estuary in a good month for this species. Peter Howlett had his most profitable month since January including Great Skua, Pom Skua and Firecrest whilst there was a Velvet Scoter for Mark Hipkin.
