As sparrows go!!!!!!!!!! You've got to be kidding me
Le Contes is one of the most beautiful birds - full stop, in my opinion. A great find by the way as well. I love sparrows - just hard enough to ID to be vaguely challenging - not so hard as to be virtually impossible (Empids etc).As for my most recent lifer - White-winged Crossbill - it took me 4 trips to a local park to see the bird sufficiently well enough to be able to enjoy the bird properly, but it was well worth it - one of those near mythical northern birds.

Sociable Plover at Rainham Marshes. Am gutted that I had gone home to my parents for Christmas by the time the Penduline Tits appeared, however.
Indian Skimmer ...in India, no surprise!
Hi All
My last lifer was a Northern Hawk Owl. I saw this amazing bird in Denmark on the 26th of December, surrounded by snow. A pair of Hawk Owls apparently arrived together (this is a very unusual species for Denmark!), but sadly one of them got hit by a car and died. Hopefully the other one will survive the winter.

Anhinga, last year in Florida (which means I should get out more). Not rare there, but I don't get that far south very often. Saw bunches of them in a very nice wildlife spot.

My last lifer was an Emperor Goose here in Oregon. It's quite a rare visitor in Pacific Northwest (most sightings are in Alaska, very few in Oregon), and I found it near Hammond boat basin (near Columbia River mouth). The weather was miserable (stormy, heavy rain and winds, etc), and my camera was soaked as soon as I dragged it out of my pocket to snap some pictures. The goose was quite tame, as it didn't seem to be intimidated by oncoming cars. Quite a beautiful bird, with that two-toned neck plumage (1/2 grayish-blue, 1/2 white).
I thought I discovered the arrival of this one first, but someone already reported it, a few minutes before I did.
