According to Scythebill, that brings my 'world' year list to 199, although I wasn't really counting. 4 lifers weren't bad either- although I've almost certainly seen spotless starlings in the past, this is the first time I've properly 'seen' one, as in observed key features and listened to calls.
Good to catch up with pied flycatcher, greenshank, great skua and osprey somewhere this year, but a pity their chances of getting on my UK list are diminishing or have already disappeared...
