A couple of adds that I missed from my original list and a slight amendment to the main list.

Pink Footed Goose
Slavonian Grebe

and
Common Scoter (on list as "Scoter")
 
Of the 77 species combined on my North Somerset patch today (73 personally), the following six additions:-
Stock Dove
Grey Plover
Chiffchaff
Black Redstart
Meadow Pipit
Green Sandpiper (Café Birder addition - it flew round the corner just before I arrived)

All the best
 
133 for the UK with those additions. Still lots of gaps for people to fill - I'm now wishing I'd taken the time to find the avocets on the Exe Estuary.

Meanwhile here's a first list for the rest of Europe, 99 species with the usual health warning that I do have a habit of including the same species under multiple names due to not being familiar with the names used outside the UK:

I guess this counts - the rules are that it has to be seen/heard by a Birdforum member and posted here, we didn't actually specify that the member who saw it and the member who posted it should be the same person.

Thanks - this is exactly the sort of help I need every year, no matter how hard I try to remember the pairs of alternate names.
