36 species on a Timed Visit seems pretty good. I've not had that many but my sites have been half moorland - pretty inhospitable at this time of year for birds and watchers. Well worth trudging through the heather for a cracking Peregrine on Buckton Moor, Carrbrook yesterday.
I'm sure you'll get more species on future visits and note then down as Roving Records.
did my 1st ttv today soon got the hang of it but dont really get enough time to cover it 36 species in total all usual stuff though pleased to say that i got a lot of house sparrows in one part ,,, jimmy
