Just entered my sightings from Saturday, taken from farm and scrubland just outside Ashton, with 33 species recorded.
One thing, I thought that the whitethroat's international English name was common whitethroat, but it's listed as greater whitethroat on there. Never knew sand martins were known as bank swallows, either (assuming that that's what was being referred to!).

Not a GM record but I've added my sightings for my morning's birding at Tawas Point, Michigan, USA! 68 species in 4 hours including 13 species of wood warbler.
