After LOTS of fruitless searching I finally found something new in Victoria, BC, Canada - American Wigeon - https://goo.gl/maps/JQK9m2RJJBaaRDtk6
Not sure if the gull to the left is Iceland or Glaucous (leaning towards the latter as it looks bulky).

Nice American Wigeon addition - I'll not number it now as I need to go through the last page-and-a-half to check through what I've missed! The gull I'd say is an immature (2nd or 3rd year?) 'Olympic' Gull, hybrid Western x Glaucous-winged; AFAIK this is the about the commonest large gull in the Vancouver area.
 
Because it's still safer than actual birding - and it is a bit chilly outside too....

St Buryan, Cornwall, England - Whitethroat (could be Dunnock or maybe Lesser Whitethroat but general look and behaviour, as well as pic being from May points to Whitethroat for me). - https://goo.gl/maps/RJzobUYzAi97bw696
 
Looks better for Dunnock to me.

Happy to go along with that, Rafael. There was a different angle the throat looked white, but looking again, the underside looks quite dark and more Dunnock-like.

Another new addition.....
Christchurch, New Zealand - Black Billed Gull - https://goo.gl/maps/XdscjeHkDLJSxdpN6

(Happened to read a trip report about New Zealand and wondered if the colony was on Streetview - it is).

Didn't capitalise the 'green' as I just meant they were green in colour - forgot there was an actual Green Bee-Eater. Found a few other Bee-Eaters elsewhere in Sri Lanka that appear to be Blue Tailed Bee-Eater which is the one species we have already.
 
I'd forgotten about this thread! Not sure I've still got the master list, unfortunately :cry:

The Johnny Rook (whatever that is? looks like a Caracara of some sort?) isn't valid, as it's a 'see inside', not gsv. Sorry!

It's the Falklands name for what is known everywhere else (ironically, where the bird does not occur) as a Striated Caracara :) (y)

As for the master list, you can always remake it 😁 😁 o_O
 
Nutcracker, most of the list is still available a few pages back. Just needs some more recent species verified and added.
 
Nice to see this thread resurrected - I was an enthusiastic participant earlier on in the thread, so I might start Google birding again! 😁
