Some species i would love to see:-
1. Goshawk - I know its a dfficult one to find but well worth it. Its aggressive nature would probably scare everyone. I dont think Goshawks get as much coverage as it deserves.
2. Honey Buzzard - not a bird many know about and probably a bit of a late nester but still something different.
3. Hobby - slowly spreading and does not get much coverage as the Peregrine.
4. Merlin - also an ignores species and decreasing so needs some coverage!
5. Red Kite - wouldprovide excellent publicity about their re-introduction and educate people about this soon to be common bird.
6. Raven - dont think Springwatch do much on Crows -would love to see their nest side behaviour.
7. G B B Gull - would love to see its nestside behaviour too.
8. Any of the Skuas - must be very entertaining watching this species.
9. Grey Partridge - boring for some but how they try to survive with so many chicks - would love to see!
10. Red Grouse - same reasons as no9
11. Ring Necked Pheasant - how this not so intelligent bird survives with so many chicks must be fun to observe.
12. Any of the Diver species.
13. Mistle Thrush -largest of the thrushes it definitely needs some attention!
14. Long tailed Tit - one of my most favourite birds, would love to see them on an Autmn watch too!
15. Curlew - our largest wader
16. Ring Necked Parakeets in the South - I would lovetosee how they behave and have adapted here.
17. Turtle Dove - are they beautiful?
18. Marsh Harriers - they are amazing to watch when patrolling marshes
19. Bittern - love to seehow they behave when in reeds.
20. Bearded Tit - needs more publicity too!
21. Dipper - an amazing spectacle to watch!
22. One of the Buntings - corn, yellowhammer but not reed!
Others I would like to see are Herring Gull, any of the Larks, Goldfinches, Serins, Black Grouse, Ruff to name but a few.
I hope we dont see more Osprey, more waders, more predictable garden birds, more eagles, more barn owls, more deer unless Muntjac,
Mammals wise woud be nice to see Polecats, Dormouseand definitely more wild cats! No more squirrels!
What would others like to see?
