Wow!!! Some fabulous birds on there Delia :t:

I really must get up to Scotland sometime soon - haven't crossed the Border (apart from day trips twice to Edinburgh) since March 2003 :-C

Any Scottish Bashes due soon?
 
158 Great Northern Diver

from the Aberdeen Bash this weekend

D
 
From Forth Valley Bash

159 Mediterranean Gull
160 Ring-billed Gull
161 Red-necked Grebe

D
 
From the latest Bash,

162. White-tailed Eagle and
163. Red Legged Partridge

have been added, bringing up the list so far to 163. There may be some other birds new to the list prior to this most recent Bash and since this topic was last posted in, so it may have risen to a slightly higher total. ;)
 
I've looked through the bash reports since the Forth valley one and sadly there were no additions so 163 it is
 
Thanks for doing that Mark - I was hoping that was the case.

Hmmm... if we're going to get the 200 up we may need to do a 'special' trip8-P

D
 
A few rather nice ones from the Islay Bash at Easter:

164 Black Guillemot
165 Rock Dove
166 Red-billed Chough
167 Hen Harrier

D
 
Two additions to the list after the East Lothian Bash this weekend

168 Whinchat
169 Grasshopper Warbler (heard only so we need a sighting at some point;))
 
Joseph will be doing the trip report but yesterday we added

170, Sandhill Crane
171. Lapland Bunting
172. Spotted Redshank
173. Pectoral Sandpiper
174. Black Scoter

Red Grouse appears to have been omitted from a previous Bash. And we finally got Kingfisher on this latest one - Tayforth;) comes good yet again!!

Oh it was KC. Blooming cold though - I couldn't open my car doors on Saturday morning!

Two new additions from Saturday's Hawfinch Bash in Brambling and Common Crane.

New total - 180!
 
Aaaw.... you had me worried for a minute (or two) there Steve. But all is well with the list.

As I'm able to edit posts freely, I slot species in to the correct order (I use ummmm Voux's I think). So... after a bash someone posts to say that whatever species was seen with the running total and i amend the first post (the actual list) accordingly.

If you look at the list, you'll see that #165 is actually House Sparrow.
