To see a Treecreeper closeup for the first time while walking local close to my house.2. Looking out of the window and having eye contact with a Green woodpecker sitting on my lawn for a good 5 mins.3.  Hearing a Scops Owls in Spain.  Seeing a Shrike for the first time in the same area.4. A Firecrest at Grafham Water5. My OH saw a Kingfisher for the first time along with Long Tailed Tits at Paxton Pits Reserve (local to us). He was very happy with the result6. Hearing a Chiffchaff for the first time in my local Patch.Too many to think about. Others may come to mind yet.   :t: :-O:-OWe are going to Spain in May 2009, sailing, and we will take the birds as we see them once more.  :t:</blockquote>
