October continues to disappoint with it's species counts, but we aren't
doing too badly really. I have been quite busy with a new job but am doing
my best to keep up with the lists. Please let me know if there is a
species that you have seen that isn't on the list.

I should have a final count next week, but I do suspect that it will be
quite similar to this one. It looks like we do have a couple warmer days
coming up on Monday and Friday of next week though!
