    Best Bird/Birding Experience of 2010

    The twitchers documentry was a low point for me. Its a shame that people in our hobby can be that sad and wierd. Desert Sparrow in Morocco was pretty good.

    invasion year for waxwings?

    I don't think there have been as many as 2004/5. Not in Perthshire and Fife anyway... They appear to have moved south earlier though.

    careers or business with birds?

    Wish I'd got a trade instead. Get a job as a bricklayer or in a factory. Keep it a hobby but make it count. WeBS count, BTO atlas etc. You'll be skint forever if you go into it and there's loads of kids who fancy they could be a warden. Most of them are good at talking but not at birds and hard...

    Find a Wallcreeper

    Where those White headed Long-tailed Tits a few years ago? There's a nice chalk cliff with a layby. Did I read somewhere they winter in Cypus. I've also heard stories of them scuttling about on the deck in fields in Spain and on the Hortobage.

    Madagascar Cuckoo Tanzania

    I dob't want to tataly poo-poo the sighting but it's not just an African Cuckoo based on the amout of yellow on the bill. Cuculus are hard to do from pictures!

    Madagascar Cuckoo Tanzania

    Not sure about this. I have nothing to hand right now but it could be the very similar looking Asian Lesser Cuckoo. I don't think Madagascar Cuckoo occurs in east africa in November. I'm no expert but I photographed one for id purposes in Uganda in May 2008.
