I haven't kept a list for each location before. But each year I intend to record the new species I see. I see them at different locations, so the best of my patches might well be better (if I saw a Siskin somewhere else first, and this happened every year, I'd never have a Siskin on my patch list, if that makes sense).
Being lazy and playing with a new tool, so I've not written it down: 
This makes 51.
I will try recording everything I see here and see if I increase this. This was where I went on New Year's day and I still have not seen the total that the birders there saw on that day, starting at 6:30, which was 57. 
This means I am a very poor birder.
I console myself that I will get better each year. 
The maximum number "probably possibles" for this site is around 130. Wow! Eyes to the skies, aim for the stars! 
PS Just realised there is a bug in the system. I have to add the new species manually. I make it 47! A few more to go then!
