With reports in now from 12 teams, and a recount in from the Leisurely Lads, the leader board for the number of species recorded looks as follows:

103 Bald Eagles ( in first place again!)

but not too far behind are:
97 The First Winters
96 Muppets 1
94 Wildpark Wanderers
And The Almondlards
And Muppets 2
84 Dartfords
83 The Leisurely Lads
81 Marsh Harriers
69 TQ01ers
67 Cuckfield Cuckoos
59 Fab Four from Henfield (bringing up the rear as always!)

Best of luck in getting all that sponsorship money in, and don’t forget to indicate where gift aid can be claimed – it makes a difference of 25% on the total, so really worth doing.

There may be a few more reports to come, but it looks at the moment as though the Bald Eagles are going to be at the top of the tree yet again, despite choosing a less than ideal day for the Race. It will be fascinating to tot up all the different species seen on the races in due course.
