[Surreybirder]

Not sure where to see the lists without reading through all 88 posts but in case it helps, I saw merlin, hen harrier, rough-legged buzzard in Kent yesterday. (I notice that eBird lists 122 species recorded in the UK yesterday, so 163 is respectable.)

Surprised to dip BewicksH

 

[mjh73]

I omitted Australasian Shoveler from my list before, so that takes Oz to 84 I think

 

[ovenbird43]

Additions for the US:

Brown-headed Nuthatch
Eastern Meadowlark

 

[gerald762]

Late addition from Andalucia, Spain. Heard at 10 pm last night.

Eagle owl

Sorry to be a party pooper but you also have red legged partridge down twice
:-C

 

[Paul Longland]

On the up side there was a dusky warbler reported in Warks. But I suppose it has to be reported on here for a BF member to count (I haven't seen it yet hoping it hangs around until the weekend)

 

[Paul Longland]

I can add green woodpecker however which does not seem to be on the list, seen in a Leicester park across the road from my front window.

 

[Britseye]

Team GB moves to 166. Nice to see hen harrier on the list, as that was one of my targets for the day but I didn't get it. Still missing fulmar, white-fronted goose and Bewick's and Whooper swans, so far.

I can give you Fulmar. Flew past a rainbow, it did. :t:

OK, so it turns out the ultra-rare hyphen-less form of Red-legged Partridge isn't actually a separate species, so we lose another one. But 4 more reported since the last version of the list, so now on 169. Our best ever year.
