I finished Patchwork Challenge for 2017 on 140 species, totalling 160 points - having failed to add anything new since Freya was born... more in another write-up. And despite the new arrival, I was allowed out for several hours on New Years Day (missing lunch with the in-laws), after dad duties had been completed in the morning.
I didn't see anything of particular note, but notched up 70 species in 5 and a half hours, with highlights including 6 Whooper Swans still on the fields just north of Meering Marsh, a Stonechat on the western side of Mons Pool, 4 Curlew on Ferry Lane Lake, and a Barn Owl at Meering. Jack Snipe and Woodcock didn't show in their favoured haunts though, unfortunately.
