We have had no less that 5 new entries onto the list!
We require 11 new birders to get the list to 100. So come on you lurkers and submit your totals.

The climbers are highlighted in red and well done to you guys and girls! The 3 biggest climbers being:

1. Duques (41 new ticks) (Yellow Jacket)
2. Elsa (36 new ticks) (Green Jacket)
3. Batmad (27 new ticks) (Blue Jacket)



This week's prizes goes to Dinkybird for starting from scratch. She scratched 169 birds from her list. Happy starting from scratch, DB! As well as the new 700 mark hitter! Niall and Hanno!

The villains are everyone with no new birds ticked in August! Get your booties out there and do some twitching will ya!

I've noticed a tough competition still between Laine and Leonie2, they got a new challenger in the form of wildthing to worry about as well! Michelle nel have now passed Candy's Style and so did Imax, pulling a fast one on me! Skopsie is pulling Jeanus back again. Scipio handed the wooden spoon DB!

Seeing that most birds are in breeding plumage and plenty of migrants are back with us, I am sure that from this month on we will have some serious list jumpers! There are quite a few threatening to break into the next magical number groups.

This month we will begin something new, in the form of adding your target you want to reach at the end of the year. So please make mention of your target together with your bird list count at the end of this month.

Happy birding everyone!
