I think you're getting a bit ahead of yourselves with Sibe Stonechat lads. As far as I'm aware it has only been recommended for elevation to full species status. It's almost certainly a formality but won't be countable until the BOU announce it in the next edition of Ibis.

James Spencer
To be fair Garry whilst you are right, the BOU have never rejected a taxonomic committee recommendation so its a pretty safe bet - especially as Martin Collinson is chairman and on the Taxonomic sub-committee. Surely academic suicide to write a paper and then reject the papers suggestions...

I think, strictly speaking, the BOU will report in January 2012. Should be interesting.

I did say it was a formality but rest assured it's not countable in the county until it's published as adopted.

What a garden tick, a flyover flock of pink-feet, roughly 200 birds heading East. Not bad for a garden in suburban Leeds.

Nice one Keith. Reminds me of living in Conder Green (on the dark side). By and nearly in the River Lune/ Morecambe Bay.
Should I start a bed list?

Glaucous Gull
Glaucous Gull drifted by at approx 1430 south, we saw it return north past the seawatching hut about 45 minutes later.

Totally nothing to do with birding but it might help Spurnbirds following their tweet earlier today.
The Lancaster was part of the WW2 Memorial Flight which did a fly-past over York today to honour the wartime French aircrew from Elvington. I saw the Lancaster as it turned over Pontefract to begin it's run in to York, amazing sight!

Yorkshire Dips
Have I the most impressive dip list in Yorkshire - can anyone top these 16?
Storm Petrel
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Stilt Sandpiper
Franklin's Gull
Belted Kingfisher
Blue-cheeked Bee-eater
Pechora Pipit
Nightingale
Cetti’s Warbler
Savi’s Warbler
Arctic Warbler
Serin
Pine Grosbeak
White-throated Sparrow
Pine Bunting
Amur Falcon
:flyaway:
If I'd connected with these I'd be joint 17th on the YB rankings. Some really painful memories in that list. At least some of them will fall - hopefully soon, even if some never will.

Cetti’s Warbler
They must be resident, someplace in yorkshire?? or do they just skip `the magic kingdom` and arrive at coastal spots in northumb? (breeding in teeside as well)

scarce migrant to yorkshire
They have bred, e.g. Tophill Low, but only irregularly.

As a comparison the Lancashire list is approx 350. This includes the north Merseyside.

Fudge duck back at pugneys. Is this the same bird as last year?

Mark.
I saw/found the Ferruginous Duck late afternoon yday. It's an adult and given how scarce they are it could well be the bird which was present in the winter of 2009/10. I think it was seen at Anglers last autumn as well?
Anyhow its on the old quarry lake at Calder Wetlands with a few Pochard.
Lawts I still need a few of those and add Sandhill Crane to the list. Garry I think you still need Amur Falcon don't you?:-O
