Local Patch Year List (2006)

A list of birds seen whilst within the boundary of my local patch (Bestwood Country Park) during 2006, but only starting at the end of September. As this is the first year of recording, all birds should be firsts (i.e. in black bold). However, here I've used black bold to indicate firsts since moving to Nottingham in 1997, as I have seen many of these birds casually in Notts since then.
