We had Brambling for Europe but not for the UK. Adding that plus Smew takes the UK list to 137 and Europe including UK to 172.
Also quite a lot of species that breed both in Europe and here, especially herons, egrets, grebes, Black Stork, etcA lot of our summer visitors winter down there

Little Grebe
Grey Heron
Great White Egret
Little Egret
Cattle Egret
Egyptian Goose
Common Moorhen
Greenshank
Plus at least Glossy Ibis, Ruff & Little Stint that have been seen in previous years and might have been on the UK list if it wasn't for the travel restrictions.

No, Muscovy Duck is not established nor is it tickable in New Jersey.

Stop Brexit!
Barn Owl would count too, if it was seen in both - it occurs in both

Saw two Barn Owls on 30 December, didn't look on New Year's Day

Thanks. I never use English names and mine are for sure outdated. I just looked for them in an old database.
Europe up to 189 (we already had Crested Tit) and Europe excluding UK to 138.
USA now 71.

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Yellow-rumped Warbler - Setophaga coronata
Assuming these were seen on the 1st and not at the weekend, the UK total gains 2 and is now 139. The combined Europe figure gains 1 (we already had a different subspecies of Black Redstart) but also loses 1 as in the process of adding Waxwing I noticed I had Jackdaw under 2 different names. So still 189.

I'm sure users will have seen some of the above on NYD!
Pink-footed Goose and Hen Harrier also new to the combined Europe list, which increases to 191.
Seeing the long list of resident species that we didn't see in the UK really emphasises what a difference the travel restrictions made. My normal New Year trip reliably yields Cirl Bunting, and the replacement more local journey I had in mind would have almost certainly got Red Crested Pochard. But while 139 is our lowest ever UK total, it's not bad in the circumstances.
