191 for the UK so far

Click to expand...

Limited UK birding this month and the UK total hasn't budged, but my non-birding holidays moved the year list on a bit.

192 Alpine chough, from a train in Switzerland
193 Hooded crow, Rome
194 Italian sparrow, Rome
195 Purple heron, from a train near Milan

Another couple of entries for the short list of species on the UK list I've only seen outside the UK.

Also added one to my odonata list, with a large number of violet dropwings at a park in Rome.

I am off to a good start. I saw two target species at Horicon marsh in Wisconsin. A whooping Crane, and a Black necked stilt, which I am told has started a breeding population in Wisconsin.

Is Emperor Goose countable in Germany? It seems a very unlikely feral bird!

Avibase - a world bird database does not include Emperor Goose in the bird list for Germany

This afternoon I spotted a mega rarity (at least for West Virginia) in a field with cattle.

230. Cattle Egret

It was a state lifer (number 264) and Preston County lifer (number 224).

351. Spotted Nutcracker

Took the bus to a small town called Enköping not far from Uppsala where a group of Nutcrackers have been feeding on hazelnuts. Got lovely close views, I've only ever seen them distantly in the past.
