Followed by a half- lifer by getting Red- Legged Partridge last weekend. Seen them once before years ago, but was never recorded anywhere!!

I've just added 30 species during a week-long birding tour on Lesbos.
The final lifer of the tour was Lesser Grey Shrike.

Two weeks ago I made my first trip to Mull and ended up having a lot of lifers: Golden Eagle, White-tailed Eagle, Otter, Merganser, Black Guillemot, Slavonian Grebe, Eider, Velvet Scooter, Great Northern Diver, Shag, Pink-footed Goose, Great Skua, Icelandic Gull, Hooded Crow, (plus Common Gull and Rock Pippet; birds I thought I'd seen before but not confidently enough to tick when I started keeping a list)
And although strictly not a 'lifer', I also had my first decent watch of some hen harriers (twice watching pairs do a food exchange)

A couple of days at Xiolangmen, in the Eastern Tombs outside Beijing, gave me Brown Eared Pheasant, Chinese Leaf Warbler, Claudia's Warbler, Grey-sided Thrush and Chinese Flycatcher as "proper" lifers and Eastern Blackbird, Chinese Beautiful Rosefinch as "1st since split" records.

I never would have noticed him if he had not been watching the same show I was.
