After a return to birding after 20 years I've added three 'lifers' to my list, and all are reflective of climate change since the 80's as well as more conservation awareness.
1. Hobby
2. Peregrine.
3. Spoonbill

If I am allowed to bend the rules and add a fourth it's
4. Little Egret

ps: I've also gone out and heard our 'local' corncrakes and common quails, birds that I didn't even consider a chance of hearing back in my old birding days.
