Slaps Please

Will everyone please slap my legs if they see me on this thread again. It makes me feel so inferior reading the lists you all have so far. Think mine is about 75 but I don't numbr them for goodness sake! I sign off muttering to myself.

So I shan't come here again!!! (LOL)

I used to keep lists when I first started birding in the 60's I was very young!!
but I only ever really kept one on holidays..not very organised got back into it in Canada04.
I kept a list since Sept for 2004(UK)....now I have got organised and know about some rules I've started a serious list for 2005.

Jan I was very busy and I topped 100! In fact BOU list 105

UK400 106

Since then its been really difficult until Sunday when I had fantastic views of Greater Spotted Woodpecker!!
so 106 BOU!!

2005 Year List is now at 67.
