135- Neil Calbrade

Despite 'upping sticks' and moving south in 2001, Neil's 'former patch' has produced one site tick for him since (Grasshopper Warbler in Spring 2007) with his previous site bests of Honey Buzzard, Red Kites (yes, plural, he's had 2 of them!), Black Redstart, Black-tailed Godwit, Kittewake, Hobby, singing Firecrest (always a pleasure!), Waxwing, Short-eared Owl, Common Redpoll and Smew (2 records).
