    Joint Birdforum Lockdown List - April and May

    Hey, Dan. I got you a Willow Tit on my ten-minute limp around the block yesterday morning. Damn blisters won't go away :-C I notice you had the bird on the European list but not the UK.

    Dan, I'm sorry I've never taken the time to follow the new taxonomy of the past couple of years, but if we're counting things on our 2km walks, it looks like your absent Green Sandpiper, LRP and (roding) Woodcock that I saw on the 16th. * And Curlew, Avocet and Goosander

    Joint Birdforum Lockdown List - April and May

    Today's the first day since I got back that I ventured further than the back garden on my designated 2km walk. Came across half-a-dozen singing Willow Warblers in a short space of time; double the number I recall seeing up here this 'ear;y' in years gone by - though admittedly, it could be...

    Interesting you say 'early'. I notice there was already one on the UK news yesterday 1000km further north. Though personally I haven't seen many before first week of May in past years, I'm aware approx 20 April is the date they usually first turn up in UK.

    Yes, it's 'the order I remembered them in taxonomic order'. :t: I did ask, but I figured you'd missed post 178 above after you posted late yesterday evening. I'm now trying to help out with Willow Tit from my garden in north-east England (first bird I saw upon return last December) but it's...

    Stung into action! I've pen and papered them just now. Do you need them in some sort of taxonomic order? There's about 40 species.

    Thanks. Curious for several reasons, not least I haven't seen one in north east England before 30th April - though I haven't birded up here much at this time of year for a long long time. As indicated elsewhere, Ive just returned from a three-month trip to Gambia and as the flights were getting...

    Sorry for the teaser. The Government have decided to send a plane over to fetch us tomorrow, so I've been spending my last hours enjoying the freedom while I still can. I had 20-25 species over 3 days including Blue-bellied and Abyssinian Rollers, Black-shouldered Kite, Wattled and Black-headed...

    Would you like a contribution from my garden in the Gambia? Not strictly on lock down here, but today's the day I should have been flying home after a three-month working holiday. The sun is so fierce between midday and 5pm I spend most of my time in self-imposed lock down anyway, between those...
