LGRE'S TRING RESERVOIR YEAR LIST 2013

Strictly a List of bird species recorded within the 'official' Tring Reservoirs Recording Area as defined by Ian Williams and thus discounting neighbouring sites such as College Lake BBOWT, Ivinghoe Hills, etc. As far as I know, I still hold the record of seeing the most number of birds EVER in this Recording Area, although Ian holds the record for seeing the most in a single calendar year.
