When I started birding in the seventies as a child I never thought I would see one of these in the UK. Difficult to choose as many others were memorable and some of my own highlights don't appear: Ancient Murrelet , Lundy (unlikely mega in an awesome setting); Little Curlew , Salthouse (a second chance at this one after not going to South Wales and it is still standing the test of time); Crested Lark (grip value only - a common European bird running around in a crappy car park - I can often hear them singing while in the shower in Hungary) and Steller's Eider, South Uist (another wonderful bird in another lovely setting) to name but a few.Some strange choices too - Tengmalm's Owl is just going to upset most of Yorkshire!Good idea to spread some happiness Archie.
