Latest lifer for me was Slavonian Grebe. Spotted 2 yesterday on the sea from Salthouse. Not particularly uncommon in Norfolk in winter, but I did wonder when I was going to 'connect' with them. Nice that I didn't end up twitching them out of desperation though!

Last lifer for me was the White Crowned Sparrow. A round trip of almost 12 hundred miles, but worth every mile of it.

I think the only lifer I've even gotten on my birthday was a White-winged Scoter in '02.

The last lifer for me was the Beloit Green-breasted Mango, in September.

 

[Marmot]

The Humes Warbler which has decided to make a stop off at Norton for the past week, which is less than 10 mins drive from where we live...near enough on the doorstep.

My last lifer was a Pallas's Gull (Great Black-headed Gull) on Morjim Beach, Goa on 2nd February. A two week non birding holiday but still clocked up a good list of birds. Goa has given me a real appetite for foreign birding. Already planning next years.

Two in the space of seconds on Saturday at Durlston County Park; Guillemot and fulmar. I think the more I get into this the more difficult it will be to tick them off, but hopefully that wil be part of the fun.

My first "life" bird was today! This little fat round bird (bowling-ball bird) was wandering around the office where I work part-time and he was out in the snow for about 6 hours. Finally, I called the Wildlife Center to see what they thought about it, they said to catch him and bring him in. (he couldn't hardly fly) So i finally caught him and took him there and when I called to check on him they said he was a Chukar Partridge! That explains why I've never seen one before, they're from out west, like Utah, but this poor little guy was in Ohio! He was so cute though, I wanted to keep him!

had three recently, Slavonian grebe at Chasewater, Long eared Owl near Stoke and Great Grey Shrike on the Staffordshire Moors

I've had plenty of birthday lifers in the past, as it would be a birthday treat to go birdwatching, my last was the Black Stork on Anglesey on the 2nd of August

Oi Ads,

There was no need for that, just cos you have your head stuck inside a crocodile. Next time i hope it closes its mouth (not really mate!)

Anyway update now - White Crowned Sparrow at Cley

A pair of Rusty-naped Pittas. Excellent birds!

 

[michaelboustead]

Purple Sandpiper. It took three trips over three years to Barnegat Lighthouse Park, NJ before finally getting it. It should not have been this hard.
