number 100

The only list I keep is of birds seen in or from the garden, and today the addition of a firecrest brought the total to 100. Whilst there has been nothing that unusual (such as Grey Phalarope!) a fly over Osprey in 2001 and a Green Sandpiper on the neighbour's pond in 2006 were quite exciting finds at the time. A Gannet a few years ago didn't make it to category A on the grounds of it being in a cardboard box, though who put it there I never found out!
