| = | D Wallace | Chilling, Brownwich and Titchfield Haven | 148 | My home patch, a 5 x 5 km coastal square comprising mainly Chilling, Brownwich and Titchfield Haven.

Two other patch lifers: Black-necked Grebe and Shag; also Cattle Egret, found by GB. | 31/12/2015 |
| 7 | A S Rhodes | calshot, Ashlett creek and Badminston | 146 | Coastal 3 x 3km. Calshot with Badminston Gravel pit and common area and Ashlett creek. Last year did my first patch year list and saw 123. Good spring for patch with 1st or 2nd patch records of Turtle Dove, Avocet, Bonxie, A Skua, Fulmar, Sanderling, and Red Kite ending with a late GN Diver on 31st May. Added Black Tern to patch list 14/8 plus finally squinted hard enough to get Common Scoter over at Hill Head for the year. Added 5 more on 16/8 including Garden Warbler which I dipped last year. Technically best bird of Autumn was Wryneck but patch ticked Brambling, RT and BT divers. December was hard but scored kittiwake and finally on last day finally saw a Shag. A good year concentrating on just this one patch with no visits to Needs Oar, my other patch and lots of visits to get common Hants birds but not so common at Calshot. It will be a long time before I get a high list like this or even attempt a big year. | 31/12/2015 |
