Going to have to start a dip list, too. GW Teal and Curlew Sandpiper went missing for the day making 6 birds I've missed so far. The good news though, is I'm still picking them up, including an unseasonal peep:

The quicker you get them, the harder it becomes to get more. Had my first tick-free birding day Friday - did get a male Hen Harrier though - better than a tick!

Corrected errors in March, above, and added a lovely sum plum:
189, Slavonian Grebe, Water's Edge CP, 02-Apr Now where are those migrants? EDIT: further March ticks missed, Slav is 189, not 185. Last edited by bitterntwisted : Friday 20th April 2007 at 01:08. |

Calmed it down a lot since the end of June - my goal was to see every common or local English bird in my 1st year of serious birding (01/07/06-30/06/07) With that done, and only Capercaillie and Corncrake eluding me for Britain, I resolved to cut down the hours and miles. Still getting out once a week, though, and now that 300-mark is looking tempting. I managed 275 BOU + 5 splits in that first year.
