[QUOTE="Alexjh1, post: 3387363, member: 85555"] Just out of random interest, what would you say are your top 5 bird species that have successfully avoided you at every attempt, despite the odds surely being against them doing so? So for instance, for me, my top 5 is probably something along the lines of: [B]Common Crossbill[/B] - Looked for many times in suitable habitat, when reported, never heard or seen. [B]Grasshopper Warbler[/B] - Supposedly breeds fairly locally to me, never even heard one, while I have heard the much rarer Savi's. [B]Caspian Gull[/B] - Probably even seen the thing, just never managed to knowingly pick one out even at places with a reputation for them. [B]Goshawk[/B] - Looked for on a number of occasions in three different countries. Last week had someone in the same car as me see one briefly while I was looking out the other side. [B]Wryneck [/B]- Tried to twitch a few, and looked for them on the continent. No sign of them. Just out of interest for what species other people have trouble with? [/QUOTE]
