27th December
26 species, including:
Nuthatch 2
Brambling 1

28th December
34 species, including:
Black Swan 1

This brings the monthly total to 85, the highest ever; the previous best was 83 in April 2013.

All records on BirdTrack.

Rob, I'm surprised your highest monthly patch species total comes in December. Is it that more effort has been made as I would have thought it would have been in September/October when summer/winter migrants overlap?

I'm sure you're right, Stuart. The total must be a result of both actual diversity and effort made. The same thoughts occurred to me and I did a quick analysis, using number of complete lists on BirdTrack as a crude measure of effort. A sample of the months this year is:
March 74 species in 18 visits (same as December)
April 72 species in 9 visits
September 71 species in 13 visits
October 72 species in 7 visits
December 85 species in 18 visits.

As Oscar Wilde said, "The truth is rarely pure and never simple"!
