40 for LRP + Golden P. I noticed that the list doesn't include Caspian Gull; is this because it's a sub?

 

[shrikebirder]

Oh, and 15 for B. cap.

 

[Pete Mella]

15 for chiffchaff please!

 

[devilbirder]

Hi shrikebirder, Caspian Gull is available. I've just checked the spreadsheet and its given 20 points and I don't think this is fair so I've upgraded it to 35. So anyone who has given themselves 20 for Caspo, feel free to add 15.

Adding Lesser Spotted Woodpecker for me (25 BP).

[shrikebirder]

can you count heard birds? I haven't actually seen a chiffchaff this year, but i've heard loads!

 

[devilbirder]

Hi,
I think it is generally accepted in the birding world to count heard-only year ticks so I'll give you that.

My chiffers have been heard only too, so I hope so!

 

[shrikebirder]

Can you count heard only lifers? I don't, but grasshopper warbler would be on my list if u did! oh, and water rail (don't laugh!)

 

[devilbirder]

Do I need to add Chiffchaff for you then, Pete?

Shrikebirder, I don't think many people count heard-only lifers for their public lists, but if you don't want to compare lists with other people then you can count what you like.

[devilbirder]

Oh sorry Alan, I was too busy writing out your latest additions that I forgot to actually add up your total! All done.

Best of luck for Norfolk.

25 for red grouse please. Don't think I can get away with self-found despite it being my regular spot for finding them, as there was one reported on the local bird group website in exactly the same place the day before...

 

[shrikebirder]

Caspian Gull was self found so could i have a bonus?

 

[devilbirder]

Thanks for the updates, all done.

I've got quite a few more to add but I've been a bit tied up. I'll sort it out over the next day or two.
