[Dimitri]

My (Belgian) lifers of this year:

In January Ring-billed Gull Larus delawarensis and Kumlien's Gull Larus glaucoides kumlieni.

The 27th Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax in March of this year in Belgium. New to my Belgian list and new to my life list. I also added Iceland Gull Larus glaucoides to my list.

Alpine Accentor Prunella collaris was the my next lifer in Belgium, in May.

Broad-billed Sandpiper Limicolla falcinellus was my next lifer of this year in Belgium, only 4 miles from my home.

Buff-breasted Sandpiper Tryngites subruficollis, also in May. This was the 9th record for Belgium.

I also twitched a Cretzschmar's Bunting Emberiza caesia, that would be the first one for Belgium, if it is accepted by BAHC.

We just had the most fantastic trip to the North of Thailand for a week and managed to get 24 life birds, taking my total up to 319 for the country (photographed).

Highlights for us were the Mountain Scops Owl and a Rufous-necked Hornbill.

Long-billed dowitcher at Slimbridge last Thursday. There's one that's joined the godwit flock and settled down to moult, and it's had the decency to adopt a pond in front of one of the larger hides, so plenty of room for everyone.

 

[South Parish]

Red-Backed Shrike

 

[MINSA]

The last 2 weeks has been a full of 'Life' birds. The one that stuck out the most would have to be the Black honeyeater - Korrolocking, Western Australia

It was a joy to see it for the first time.

FINALLY

Pectoral Sandpiper at Jackson Lake State Park in Colorado

 

[Farnboro John]

Last two ticks both mammals: European Beaver and Grey Long-eared Bat. At least the latter flies!
