Hen Harrier in Zeeland, Netherlands. At last. I have seen thousands of Marsh Harriers before, never this one.

Black crowned night heron in watermead, after three unsuccessful trips in the hopes of getting the one in Brent- I managed to get three in a single lake in watermead. I’ve now seen almost all European heron species in the UK… which I’ve sadly not been very lucky with, with my trips to France. Very cool bird, was awesome to see them climb the branches upwards- very unlike most of species I’ve seen.

White-throated Swift, one of 50+ added in Arizona

Forster's Tern Brownsea Island.

Wasn't the most active, but it's been giving people the run around all week so I guess thats preferable to the alternative.

Two tick day yesterday, Grey-headed Lapwing then Stejneger's Scoter. Also, five species of scoter in a day!

Unfortunately the car stuck a con rod through the engine block front near Tebay on the way back and relay got us home 30 hours after leaving to start the twitch, at 0530 this morning....

Great bird, many congratulations!

Thanks. Got audio of the strange call too. No photos though. It actually looked more yellow than green on the breast to me, but the call was definitive. Was in Kibale forest. Could not have done it without guides.

Capercaille in Sweden plus Red and Black throated Diver. I count those 2 species as new because I've only seen them in winter in the Netherlands. Winter plumage just doesn't count with those two species.
