Under 25's Minileague - May 2016

Amy Robjohns adds 18% to her total to lead the Under 25 comparative league. This month her highlight (and everyones) was a male Caspian Stonechat which she found on patch whilst counting snails. This is a 15 pointer and well deserved for a devout patcher. Second place is still Rhys Chivers and he hits the 100% with Wood Sandpiper and Whimbrel his best bits this month. Ash Baines rounds off the top three and is only 3.25% short of second as he adds Spoonbill.

Amy's exploits see her join Joe Stockwell in first place on 218 points each. His highlights were a self-found Temminck's Stint and a patch first Cattle Egret. Jonathan Farooqi is heading up the pack 35 points behind in Druridge Bay. He managed to connect with the touring pair of Glossy Ibis that worked their way down the east coast along with a Great White Egret.

Other highlights this month include bonus point scoring Great White Egret for Jack Dawson whilst Toby Carter gets a bonus for a Purple Heron. The final set of bonus points this month goes to Josie Hewitt who managed to connect with a Honey Buzzard at Blackbushe airfield. Dan Beadle managed to catch up with a Hoopoe on his patch at Coverack and there was a Turtle Dove for Ben Moyes in the mid-Gipping Valley. Dan Rouse saw the Bonaparte's Gull at WWT Llanelli and the Gull-billed Tern at Morfa Bacas - quite the double! Erik Ansell managed a Red-necked Phalarope at Rutland and Jack Dawson saw the Wryneck and Black-winged Stilt double at Frampton. Finally there was also a Turtle Dove for Zac Hinchcliffe at Old Bolingbroke.
