Just realised I forgot to update my bird list after a trip to RSPB Old Hall Marshes on Wednesday. The extremely cold wind kept many birds down and forced us to leave after about an hour but I still managed to add nine new species to my list:

66. European golden plover Pluvialis apricaria
67. Dark-bellied brent goose Branta bernicla
68. Common redshank Tringa totanus
69. Common reed bunting Emberiza schoeniclus
70. Eurasian skylark Alauda arvensis
71. Peregrine falcon Falco peregrinus
72. Western marsh harrier Circus aeruginosus
73. Red knot Calidris canutus (NT)
74. Dunlin Calidris alpina
 
A chase to find a rare goose also added a more common goose and a rather uncommon gull species to my list.

Birds
102. Caspian gull [Larus cachinnans]
103. Lesser white-fronted goose [Anser erythropus]
104. Canada goose [Branta canadensis]
