Hotspur

Blue-winged Warbler
Thayer's Gull
Little Blue Heron
Bald Eagle
Bulwer's Petrel
White-winged Scoter is going on the British list (the one show said so) but obviously the Irish bird was a Stejneger's Scoter and thus a potential split.

The real listing fun could start if the referendum in Scotland goes "Yes".
To get into the EU Scotland would then probably have to sign up to Schengen which would mean that the next Scottish mega after that event would only be accessible to rUK (remainder UK) twitchers with a passport. And vice versa for the Scots. Some such as the Bridled Tern and the Rosehearty Short-billed Dowitcher obligingly pitched up in both England and Scotland.
Can you count a bird on your "national" list if you have to go through passport control to tick it?

If Scots do vote "Yes" then I suppose a lot of my ticks will have to be reclassified as "Observed in Former United Kingdom".

It's only Rock and Roller but I like it
I think it's in the Irish equivalent of cat. D. It's on my British and Irish list though because I've ticked it as a British and Irish rarity in Ireland.
