What species/numbers would you see on Corvo on an average day ??, leaving out the rarities.

London? The Wilson's Phalarope seems to have departed..... More boredom ahead?

There are eight species of passerine that breed on Corvo...
As I'm sure anyone who has birded the island will tell you, it's hard going in easterlies....
"We're on the go again, just booked tickets to London. And, yes we do realise that we should never have left the Azores and Corvo, hell it would probably be our best move even now to go back there. We probably missed out on some 5-10 ticks on that lousy decision. We were bored with Corvo though and that is the simple explanation. There are no reasonable tickets to get hold of though, so that is not an option."
Only part of the equation (is the Corvo bit trickier?), but Ryanair flight on Weds morning 25th Lisbon to Terceira - 41 Euros ...
If I had that much money myself I'd be tempted ...

Regardless of what the reasons for cutting Corvo short, the guys are now in the UK and the first target will be the long staying Wilson's Phalarope for starters. Dusky and Radde's Warblers will, no doubt, be high on the list of species they will want to put to bed, Further afield, the incredibly showy Grey Cheeked Thrush will have no doubt caught their attention in Ireland.
7 new birds for the year still on Corvo today. Is there anywhere else in WP where they will get that many birds in one location?
They seriously just need to get back to the Azores.

Way to ruin a great year. Hope the next big year will be done by people not only lucky but smart.
