Thanks for posting Colin...

Still got a fair way to go to catch you up, and that's before I exclude my dozenish overseas birds!

Some excellent birds there, Colin. I'm sure quite a few of us envy you the Pacific Swift!

Jason

A good list Colin - at least a couple i`d be happy to add to mine...
But how did you end up with Pacific Swift if you don`t twitch?

Perhaps the same way I did. I happened to be there. Couldn't work out what all the panic was...there were cars arriving at huge speed...getting abandoned...then someone ran past me and told me!

Well hows that for lucky!
