Stonechats at Holme
There are at least three and almost certainly four pairs of Stonechats wintering on the reserve this year - these are birds along the Thornham Bank and at the far west end of the reserve on 17th January 2016
Sperm Whales at Hunstanton
Three or maybe four Sperm Whales were off Hunstanton late afternoon. One male became stranded on rocks below the cliffs and was still fighting to free itself as night fell and as the water ebbed........

410 'new' species recorded in 2015: 3096 species recorded since January 1st 2014
During 2015, we recorded 410 species which we did not record in 2014. We also rather belatedly identified 16 species to add to the 2014 total. This brings the grand total number of species recorded on the patch since 1st January 2014 to 3096.
The table below provides a list of the number of 'new' species recorded in 2015 in each of the major taxonomic groups. Most species were new to us and almost certainly new to the patch. For example, we recorded 124 beetles in 2015 which we had not done in 2014: 102 of these were entirely new to the patch.
A full list of new species recorded in 2015, plus the additional species for 2014 can be found under the 2015 tab.
A new master list tab will eventually host master lists of all the species ever recorded on the patch. The first list, for Beetles, is already loaded and contains the records for all 881 species recorded on the patch to date. We have recorded 707 of these since 1st January. The master lists will be updated periodically.
