Other bogey birds well and truely under the belt, included my fist UK Night Heron, Rustic Bunting (at Walney Island) and Raddes Warbler (on the Great Orme, Llandudno). Ross's Goose with 10,000 Pink-feet in St Helens was good, and the stunning Ross's Gull at Lytham was even better.Two stunning Black Vultures with 100 Griffons in Spain stand out, as well as the awesome scenes as usual in Donana, which included a flock of 300 Cranes.</blockquote>
