What's your fantasy bird? (5 Viewers)

[Microtus]

I think Amur Falcon would fit the bill for me. A nice adult male.

No, in my opinion it can only be one bird, a bird that is a MEGA on a global scale and would make the frenzy over the Tuftie a mere ripple of interest, some will say my choise is a fantasy too far, but I say let's fantasise big time ....... Ladies and gentlemen I give you ....... SPOON-BILLED SANDPIPER!!

I'm with you on that one - an absolute dream bird

I believe that slender billed curlew is a 'fantasy' bird.....?!

ps...realistically tho....i'd settle for a white wing lark....[now that 'black' has fallen]...!

A generous one that owns a brewery or failing that a bl**dy Petchora Pipit.

In the wake of the Tufted Puffin I wondered what would be people's dream bird to find on their local patch?

It has to be drake Spectacled Eider. Drake Harelquin would be nice as well and following the events of the past few days, Tufted Puffin has now joined this elite group of birds that I would be happy to travel anywhere in the UK to see, with minimal notice.

The Tufted Puffin.

The OP said "to find on your local patch" and I stick by what I want but in the interest of something a bit spicier how about a male American Redstart.

Yellow-nosed Albatross at Carsington Water would be nice, I missed the last one by a day or so.

 

[Jan-Paul Charteris]

How about Horned Puffin?

Mourning Warbler would be pretty damn nice too

Ha! In my patch it would have to be a Black Redstart.

Oh for Nightingales to be singing their little hearts out in the spring, here in the valleys of the wee drumlin hills of Co. Monaghan. Alas fat chance of that ever happening. But I can fanticise can't I.
