Message: <blockquote data-quote="jurek" data-source="post: 3457690" data-attributes="member: 3357">Good luck to them, and looking forward to (hopefully) follow their adventures next year!In WP listing, perhaps crucial is how much budget one has, and how many long-distance air trips to catch rarities one can afford. Hopefully they counted it in advance - or are so rich that don't care. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Anyway, regular species would make already a great adventure. Single most problematic regular might be connecting with the last remaining Siberian Crane during his stopover in Volga delta.Jos, really good to hear you are well! Please, do not read the paragraph below, OK?Algerian nuthatch is possible, at least one man seen it this year and lived to post pictures on Observado. One can fly from Algiers to Jijel, and from there it is under 2 h drive to Mount Babor. Algerian government apparently confiscates binoculars on entry, but not moderate telephoto lenses. If one keeps head down, and the nuthatch behaves like Corsican and Kruper's species, one could do it during light hours in a single day. But not the plan I would announce on the internet in advance.</blockquote>
