Itchy and Scratchy

 Yes indeedy, everyone's favourite cartoon frenemies were at it again over le weekend as the tussle for third place continues to ebb and flow. First to blow his trumpet on Saturday was Royzah, who after bangin' in a woodcock was finally compelled to declare that his score (including that snow bunting from the other week) was now 99.76%. However his elation was swiftly crushed by Seppy, whose third-place score was already nestling on 99.77% - just 0.01% ahead!

Fast forward to sunday am, and after a failed attempt to bag two very distant long-tailed ducks that were approximately 3km off patch, Seppy was only delighted to stumble into two (count 'em) greenfinches on his way home, just a stone's throw from his gaff! A scarce bird in these parts these days, and one that was looking less and less likely to occur as the autumn progressed. And so Seppy is the third contender this year to break the near-mythical 100% barrier, equalling his 3rd best-ever finish score of 145 species, and there's still two months of the competition to go!

Probly still only one species separating these two goons though - who will be the next to score?
