How is your 2008 List Going? (1 Viewer)

Hallo John - we keep missing each other!
 
Got two new birds for the year today. Red Grouse on the way to work and Treecreeper from the office window.

Year list on 101. Got the first lifer of 2008 yesterday. No surprise for guessing - White Crowned Sparrow.
 
Whitacare Heath and Lea Marston added two more ticks but I dipped out again on the controversial Marsh Lane Redpolll before the bad weather set in. I also went to St Mary's in Warwick in the hope of seeing the Peregrine but it hadn't arrived by the time I got there and I wasn't waiting in that rain.

126. Willow Tit
127. Scaup

Up to 134 now, with a decent day's birding around E London.

Also, have people here seen the online listing website at http://www.bubo.org/listing/ ?
It's free, and really quick and easy to use for keeping life and year lists, and avoids the usual risk of double counting something. You can also see a list of your most likely 'target' birds, based on what others have seen.... for instance, it's telling me that I really, really should have seen a Yellowhammer by now!

Once your list is up there, its visible for all to see.... so perhaps an alternative to posting lists of species here?

[edit: should perhaps add that I'm in no way associated with the site... just a satisfied customer!]
 
A beautiful, sunny day, despite bitter cold temperatures. I added five birds to my Year List, which is now up to 90.

86. Field Sparrow
87. Common Merganser
88. Golden Eagle
89. Red-shouldered Hawk
90. Redhead

Chased (unsuccessfully) a Williamson's Sapsucker that's showed up not too far away, bud did add a couple year birds.

126. Cassin's Finch
127. Evening Grosbeak
 
Six wet days in Norfolk (actually Wednesday was OK) took me up to 145 and third place on both Bubo and Surfbirds, despite the fact I have only seen one rarity.

Can't be botherd to list all the 36 year-ticks but....

114 White-crowned Sparrow
140 Bean Goose (tundra)
145 Great Grey Shrike

World-listing takes over now with trips to NE India and Thailand in the next six weeks.
