    Besides the Forster's Tern, is there anything else in Britain and Ireland left for them to chase now?

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    I believe that it does, but I'm not sure if it occurs in the WP part of Mauritania (I actually have no idea where the border lies). It has always seemed like a rather dodgy species to me, especially with North African Great Cormorant looking something like an intermediate. This blog has a...

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    Wow, this will be super exciting to follow. What a fantastic few years of Big Years it has been! What is a reasonably realistic target number of species for them? 750? From what I can remember, the current record is around 700?
