Time for my quarterly score declaration...
119 species/92.6%
Nothing earth shattering of course, cos you'd have heard about it.
I'm a little intrigued about what counts as 'on patch' though. I know we've been over this before, so if someone could refresh my memory that would be grand.
If I can see my patch and the humpback whale at the same time, can I count it (despite the fact that it isnt a bird)? It was only a few hundred metres offshore, as was I (on a boat, by the way...)
I reckon it is marginally better than wryneck. I've never seen a wryneck breaching, mind you...
Clarification of rules is it? No better man than I!
ReplyDeleteThis comes under the in or out thing - as long as you or the bird are within (or over - if its a bird) the patch, then it goes on the list. However in this case you were off patch (on a boat) and it was off patch (in the sea). so it doesn't count. If it beached it would count, except it wouldn't really because its not a bird, its a fish.
And fish don't count
Case closed!
