Where in the world am I? Bird Game! (1 Viewer)

Peter,

I have been there and have had a fantastic experience there (Monteverde, CR), but that was not my list (but the pelagic off Wollongong was!). I think some of the numbers seem a bit inflated, but I am not sure how this person was counting (I do know whose checklist this is though, and he is a very good birder).

None of the African, Asian, or European lists will be mine, but some of the American and Australian ones will be.

Carlos

I'll say Scotland.

and I'll try Iona.

I'll try Skye again,

Rich

Or maybe Portpatrick in Dumfries and Galloway. There seems to be a lack of of BOP's for Skye,

Rich

davercox collected the 6 pts for this one -- Iona, Mull, Scotland was the exact location.

Reuven_M gets 1 pt for getting Scotland right, first.

Carlos

Sorry, "my bad"!

When Carlos said that Falcon was "on the right track", I read that as "he was close, but no cigar".

I'll have to pay more attention as to what the actual post is saying!
