Slender-billed Flufftail two days ago in Madagascar - it took 4 hours of wading though thigh-deep saw sedge marsh to nail it, but superb views once we did so.

Black redstart, on a fence at Strumble Head, Pembrokeshire. Another one ticked off my informal list of species I should have seen in the UK but have only seen abroad.

Ortolan Bunting.

Last bird on our trip to France in August. Seen just on the edge of an "industrial wasteland" outside the Charles de Gaule airport!

I can't help but be astonished at this - how unusual this bird could be in S.C. (only about a day's drive south, for me). Mind you, you'd probably feel the same way about the utter lack of Titmice and Carolina Wrens at my feeders.

How you have coped all your life without seeing one? I would be, to borrow a term from across the pond, "gutted." Of all the birds I have met, these definitely have the most engaging personalities.

P.C.
