Well my list is a pitiful 1 - Kevin and he hasn't been on BF for ages. I should get a few "high profile" ticks at Minsmeet!!
It'll be like shooting fish in a barrel - where's the field skills (stalking)?
Sort of devalues those ticks really - a bit like counting the clipped ducks at Slimbridge!

Don't mention clipped ducks in front of Pete, for goodness sake!

You could always camp out at Amwell in the hopes of a SimonC & a rogerk ;)
Beneficial to 3 peoples lists there!
 
Look at this, 26 posts in this thread so far, and only 3 lists (not counting the pitiful "sub 5 club"!)
 
Digibirder - you canb add me to your list - I met you beside a loch in bad weather up in Scotland last year - I asked about your target sight on the scope. I also saw you from a distance at Rutland Birdfair but was too shy to say hello again.

So I guess my list is

Digibirder
Steve
Ollie

oh dear - not very impressive!!

Doug,

I just went in an edited it as soon as I saw your name appear at the bottom of the thread. How remiss of me to forget.

You, shy? I really don't bite you know!

Now then, I remember talking to someone else at Rutland and I can't for the life of me remember who it was!!

QUACK QUACK QQQQUUUUAAAACCCKKKKK

I definitely don't approve!!

The one drawback of Minsmeet is that at least two members will have cameras and I just know I'm going to get put in the gallery

Yes, there'll be a couple of lifers for me there!!
I'm going to dip on a few people on purpose.

Self-preservation and all that.

But then again, I'm so tiny that I move at the speed of a tortoise so I'll be difficult to avoid. Bring your knuckledusters Diane.;)

Some of the photographers will try to get just that bit closer and frighten off the shyer ones before the late-arrivers get there!

At other meets they have been seen hanging around the Loo's. Suggest camo ing oneself as a cow or something and keeping an eye out around the Loo at Minsmere. Some should be identifiable by the funny cream & Green head plumage. Several have suffered injuries, so look out for a limp!.

Ooh, that should get a response! Nice one.

Alan, I think hanging around the bogs looking for a limp anything could be illegal....
