Holmpton Omissions

Still no late additions to my Holmpton Year List, although I admit I haven't been "hammering it" lately due to family commitments...even I can't be that unsociable! Below is a list of species that I haven't seen this year that I arguably should have. Some are long gone now but some are still more than possible in the remaining days...

Mute Swan (Cygnus olor)
Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus)
Common Shelduck (Tadorna tadorna)
Gadwall (Anas strepera)
Red-breasted Merganser (Mergus serrator)
Red Kite (Milvus milvus)
Red Knot (Calidris canutus)
Grey Plover (Pluvialis squatarola)
Little Tern (Sterna albifrons)
Little Auk (Alle alle)
Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus)
Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus)
Ring Ouzel (Turdus torquatus)
Whinchat (Saxicola rubetra)
Goldcrest (Regulus regulus)
Spotted Flycatcher (Muscicapa striata)
Common Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris)
Siskin (C
arduelis spinus)

I'll have a "last blast" next week. Just wondering if there are any BELTED KINGFISHER photos about!!! Just kiddin'.
