You're still the only person on BF to have ticked me!

If you want to add me to your 2008 year list, check your PM's...
(We'll be in Norfolk for a week in the near future)

Technical Q for BF200 purists: If an individual has more than one user name can you count each one?

Before anyone replies "It's your list, you can do what you want", I would point out that if the gloves were off my inclination would be to tick EVERY user name, because that would make my list bigger, me more important, and life sweeter...

...but I also want to play fair. So, what does everyone else do?
 
For me one person, one name no matter how many user names they have. I tend to use the one they are mainly known by.

For me you can only tick them once... BF guidelines state that you can only have one account per person, so anyone with more is breaking the rules! http://www.birdforum.net/help/Policy
 
Two more last weekend, both top quality additions....

54 Tim Allwood (Cart Gap)
55 Ilya Maclean (Sea Palling Reef Bar)

Could you get the missus and son to sign up too so that I can get another couple of armchair rares? :)

I can but try!

We're staying in Wells from 8th -15th February.
Hopefully the WC Sparrow will still be there and the crowds will have gone dwindled somewhat...

Have you still got my mobile number?

32. Simon Stirrup - Armchair tick
 
I've just ticked a predominantly obscurely located resident and unpredictably eratic migrant, Jos Stratford. Bit of a blocker that one, is this a description species ?

I would just like to point out to the three or four persons on here that claim to have ticked me, I am an escapee, I jumped the fence ages ago and despite the ragged edges giving the appearances of being wild, I am not available as a tick, let alone a blocker.

Furthermore, due to food provision by the above said persons, mostly in the form of pizzas and similar, I can not even be said to be self-sustaining in my apparent wild state.

Thus in view of my self-admitted status, the lists of certain persons should be viewed as stringy, if not downright fraudulent. Downgrade your lists, folks!
 
Having read what you have said, you are still staying on my list Jos.:-O

You're a stringy git, no principles whatsoever.

This here vagrant is not even being considered by the rarities committee, he is a self-confessed escapee, much on a par with plastic flamingos, yellow bath tub ducks and odd sparrows with funny head patterns. Oops, didn't mean the last!

Which is, of course, the only reason that I have never made any attempt to twitch you. Some of us are just too scrupled. ;)
