First lifer of 2015 added this week, with my first marbled duck finally seen at El Hondo reserve in Spain.

Finally, after several attempts, managed to see the Bearded Tits at Newport Wetlands Centre on Tuesday.

Garganey. A pair turned up today at RSPB Lochwinnoch which is good going.

I heard of a Crested Caracara being seen on a golf course in Orange County, NY. Decided to go out and see it today, and wasn't disappointed. Since 8:52am, was on the same tree up until 2pm when it returned to the golf course. Gonna try and go back later this evening, only a 30minute drive to get there.

That makes Crested Caracara my latest life bird, and my first since the European Goldfinch earlier this month.

Golden-collared Honeycreeper

Near Mocoa, Putumayo, Colombia April 9, 2015. It was at the top of the canopy on the Fin del Mundo trail, and so backlit it was difficult to make out. But the photo shows diagnostic characters, so I guess it's okay. There isn't another photo in the gallery, but I hesitate to add it.

Cheers Larry. I missed a few other potential ones, but I can't really complain!

My first twitch of the year when I went after a real surprise bird in Somerset. Hudsonian Godwit. I think the last one on our shores was back in the early 80's.

My latest lifer after spending many times in the uplands of England and Scotland, always listening for that 1 syllable note.
The Ring Ouzel but not 1 but 4, 2pr and breeding in a area I never even knew. Excellent
