Having just come across Cornish Exile's thread on the next additions to the British List, and while scouring the BOU list for candidates likely by their absence, I noticed that there are currently 12 species residing in Category B (not recorded since 1950).
Here's the link...

Ok then, so which one of those is going to be the first to get an upgrade? Will someone find a half-eaten Bulwer's Petrel on Chesil Beach, will it be a flock of Ruddy Shelducks from a new colour-ringing scheme in Bulgaria, or maybe a Capercaillie in off the sea at Flamborough?
Your votes please...with situation and location if possible. I'm not going to tell you what I'm hoping for, because then it might not happen this June...
