Despite several periods of ill health and the demands of being in a rock band, I still managed a decent year total of 241 species in the UK. Yet again several expected species eluded me: Common Redstart, Pied & Red-breasted Flycatchers, Little Auk, Bonxie and enough others that I could probably have reached 300 if I'd really gone for it! Apart from a three-day trip to Yorkshire in June, however, virtually all of the birds were seen in Norfolk and Suffolk, so I reckon that's quite a reasonable total...
