January 1st joint Birdforum list (2018 edition) (1 Viewer)

@ Swindon Addick
I have just checked your list for duplicates, and (please excuse the cheek) spelling, as that can cause miscounts, and it appears fine, at 161 species.
I really enjoyed this thread as a significant new start at more serious birding (when time allows), thank you for organising it.

Not sure if I'm too late but I saw a Crested Tit at the car park at the Osprey Centre near Boat of Garten on the 1st of January. I've double-checked the UK list but couldn't see it there.

I think the Arctic redpoll got missed off the the uk list

Make that 197. Was just flicking through last year's thread & saw the post where I mentioned having both Great Egret & Great White Egret, and I got a sudden sinking feeling...
