Well, probably too many to make a list, but a lot of sea birds come to mind, especially as I live so close to the North Sea. I've never seen any of the usual winter visitor gulls, most of which appear annually along this coast (such as Glaucous Gull and Iceland Gull) - most probably because I find gull identification so difficult that I wouldn't know if I saw one! And then there are the petrels and shearwaters - I've seen no petrel species and only Manx Shearwater.And the skuas, too, with only Great Skua on my tick-list...Hmmm.... looking at that, I think I need a pelagic trip!</blockquote>
