OK, I'm fairly new to this obsession, and still learning, but I love a good list, so have been keeping various different records... so here goes:

Last 3 UK ticks:
- White fronted goose
- Snow bunting
- Red-throated diver

Last 3 global ticks:
- Hobby (Haut Savoie, France)
- Red-breasted flycatcher (Haut Savoie, France)
- Cirl Bunting (Alicante province, Spain)

Last garden tick:
- Yellow wagtail
(can't remember before that!)
