January 1st joint Birdforum list (2024 edition) (1 Viewer)

[Richard D]

I think most of mine (UK) have been added, but I've not spotted Spoonbill in the lists

 

[Welsh Peregrine]

Will do a proper check in due course, but the Merseyside rarities picked up were Black-throated Diver, Green-winged Teal, Cackling Goose (and the dubious Red-breasted Goose).

 

[Richard Prior]

From French Alps I think these are yet to appear for Europe:
Black Grouse
Lammergeier
Golden Eagle
Black Redstart
Common Crossbill

 

[Andy Hurley]

Not sure if I can add too many to the UK list. Have these been seen?

Greater Scaup
Goldeneye
Great Crested Grebe
Shag
Common Scoter
Black Grouse
Red Grouse
Pintail
Smew
Green-winged Teal
Tree Sparrow
Yellowhammer
Reed Bunting
Slavonian Grebe
Long-tailed Duck

Are you adding those or just asking?

 

[ClarkWGriswold]

Are you adding those or just asking?

Adding but also asking Andy. Some of them must have been seen.

 

[Andy Hurley]

From Germany, (difficult to isolate the European list from all the other great entries )

Greylag Goose
Black headed Gull
Feral Pigeon
Common Starling

 

[Oldnintheway]

Nothing yet from the U.S.? I got up very late, up all night consoling the dog from the local explosions. I can start with the usual yard birds. Please remind me, is it better to add birds with new posts, or go back and add to the original list?

Spotted towhee
Black-capped Chickadee
Chestnut backed Chickadee
Red-breasted Nuthatch
Song Sparrow Fox Sparrow
House Sparrow
Golden crowned Sparrow
White crowned Sparrow
Anna's Hummingbird
Bishtit
House Finch
Dark-eyed Junco

 

[Swindon Addick]

Ended with 54, with some really common species missing. It was going so well until the rain came...

I think Fulmer, Guillemot and Razorbill are the only ones I saw that haven't been reported for the UK yet.

If you're in Europe, please don't be put off posting something that has been seen in the UK but not in your country - we'll be doing separate UK and "rest of Europe" totals.

Please remind me, is it better to add birds with new posts, or go back and add to the original list?

It's much easier for me if you make a new post with the additional species. Once I start to get the spreadsheet caught up, which hasn't started yet, there's a risk I may miss something that's added to a post I've already looked at.
