With 6 new birds up for grabs in the first 20 days of May 2009 (Pallid Swift, Eastern Bonelli's Warbler, Crested Lark, White-collared Flycatcher, Black-winged Pratincole and Brown-headed Cowbird), I have been busy today fully updating all of the Life List submissions. Some individuals with life lists exceeding 450 species scored an incredible 5 new birds !
We have a surprising new leader at the top of the pile and it is not Ron Johns or the Invisible Man - both have fallen and Chris Heard is now forced into 5th place - see the UK400 Club website (www.uk400clubonline.co.uk) later for full updates

About Me
- Lee G R Evans
- Amersham, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom
- I have been birding since 1969 but became obsessed with 'twitching' in 1974 and haven't looked back since. Have driven over 1.3 million miles in pursuit of rare birds in the UK, where to date I have recorded 572 species in Britain and Ireland. I also have a fascination for the Birds of the Western Palearctic, where I have currently recorded 859 of the 1,034 species ever recorded. I am widely travelled in North America, as well as in Africa and Asia, and have written at least 29 books on my chosen subject, including best-sellers ''Ultimate Site Guide to Scarcer British Birds' and 'Rare Birds in Britain 1800-1990'. Established the UK400 Club in 1981 to cater for the most obsessive of the British birding fraternity and now concentrate on online publishing, via the www.uk400clubonline.co.uk website. Record Birding achievements include recording 386 species in Britain & Ireland in 1996 and 627+ in the Western Palearctic in 2008
