Wondering what others want to see :t:

Best,
Matt

In the UK?
1. Wallcreeper
2. Siberian Rubythroat
3. Hawk Owl

Dream on eh?

 

[Microtus]

In North America:

Spotted Redshank
Great Gray Owl
Long-billed Murrelet

There are dozens of North American species I haven't yet seen that are more prosaic or common than those...those three are simply ones I really really want to see.

I saw one of my 'top' ones a couple of weeks back... a Kingfisher.

Now, I know some people will say "Ah... you can see them everywhere", but this year I've kept on missing them... always at the wrong time at the right place and had been to numerous haunts - so I'm really happy to have seen at last!

:t:

The other two on my list?

Puffin... and a 'pure white' Blackbird (i.e. one with 'albinism').

I want a hazel grouse quite badly, also capercaillie, and CRANE! Now that my dad's seen a pair in Shropshire, it's about time I saw a few in France!

 

[Eimajm]

1. Balearic shearwater - been trying all year for one, but looking good for tomorrow at dungeness 'fingers crosssed'.
2. Audouin's Gull (dipped on 2 so far) grrr...
3. Bee-eater

Only 3....??

Harpy Eagle
Marvellous Spatuletail

PS. Birdingcraft - Orange Dove is much more stunning then Golden!!

It is so hard to choose just three top birds- I could go for the Spatuletail myself and yes, I think I might change that to Orange Dove- it does look quite stunning! I would at least love to see any of those ridiculously colored Fruit-Doves.
