You too, Jonny? If you also go to Fair Isle, that means you, I and louisfh will all be going there in October. :-O Well done on some great birding folks. Not entirely sure if I'll be going to Speyside next weekend, but I will at some point. If the House Finch was to be accepted, Ash, that would be two mega life ticks for you in a row. Its unlikely however with all the reports of its origin.

183 with western wood-pewee and olive-sided flycatcher

 

[rokermartin]

148:Hobby, Jay and Mediterranean Warbler (I don't know if the name is correctly, internet doesn't work well, I mean Sylvia melanocephala)

Sardinian Warbler is its common name.

 

[Creamcolouredcourser]

:-O Lol likewise. How long, where and when will you be there Creamcolouredcourser? I'm gonna be down there from the 20th-23rd.

I will be there from the 29th of may to the 3rd of june. I will be birding constantly throughout that time visiting most good reserves.

Hi, keep yoour eyes out for another 2 young birders as me and my my mates are going to be there. My other friend is 17 and I am 18, we might bump into each other.:t:

 

[Halcon]

Thanks Johnny and Rockermartin.
I've got a trip planed to the Ebro Delta and the mountains around planned. I'ts a birding trip with a friend who knows perfectly the region.
I usually go birding to my patch, which is an excellent place, a lagoon situated between the Ebro Delta and the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà where I usually get around 50 species/day.

 

[gropperwinch]

would anyone else still be interested in a get-together over the summer holidays. It was on here not too long ago, but seems to have dropped off again. Not my original idea, (simmojunior's I belive) but could anyone else who would be interested say so, regardless of how we will organize it for now, and once it becomes apparent who would be interested we can try to sort something out perhaps?

 

[simmojunior]

I am still interested in the idea. Once we set a date and location, I will make a new thread. The first date I really can do is the 26th June due to my impending AS levels. Have a think for a location that is ok at that time of year and easy by public transport.

 

[birding maniac]

Cheers mate. Nice one with the House Finch! I do however doubt it will get accepted.:-C

I agree. I heard it was a yellow variety, which comes from the western us, due to a different diet there and is non -migratory. It also is a common pet. Then again, many pacific birds have started turning up too.
