Nothing wrong with that list. Just keep it going and it seems to me they will soon mount up. Good birding and good luck.

Forget this im keeping it British

Oh right. I wonder if you will have the chance to explore some of the other islands then. Some good birding to be done there I believe. Keep a look out for Whales and Dolphins too. Enjoy.

Take care

Updated, New things in Bold. (whenever i update my list, a message similar to this will appear.

Updated again, a couple of things i forgot. Stuff from a few days ago still in bold.
