I say we count that as a post lmao. What's next.

 

[BillN_33]

Darren you name one - pick an easy one that has not been asked for otherwise it will stop the thread

 

[Proud2btaff]

Let's go for a Mallard

Wryneck please

 

[BillN_33]

You're a thread stopper Brian, there is one around, whether it will get posted or not is another matter

 

[Rustydon]

Can we agree a timescale to find a named bird before that request is abandoned? That would avoid crossed posts

greenshank please.

 

[BillN_33]

Wryneck - lovely image Nigel - even when you know, you have to look twice or three times to realise that it is a member of the Woodpecker family

 

[Rustydon]

Greenshank...

Show me a Willow Warbler please

 

[BillN_33]

WW - cannot help with this - all mine are CC's - I've started recording their song to be sure

so when you post your WW a full description of why would be good

 

[jerry12953]

I claim this as a willow warbler on account of the pale legs.......View attachment 22774

Have we had garganey yet?

 

[Rustydon]

Not yet Jerry... am looking forward to seeing one!

 

[jerry12953]

If all else fails I might be able to help out myself......

 

[BillN_33]

If all else fails I might be able to help out myself......

If you post one the French will shoot it as it migrates

 

[jerry12953]

If you post one the French will shoot it as it migrates

I'll hold you personally responsible if that happens........

Juvenile Garganey

Have we had a Peregrine yet

 

[Rustydon]

Not yet, Mike...

 

[Mikechappers]

Not yet, Mike...

Ok its a Peregrine then, its getting harder to think of a bird someone on here will have without going into the rarer visitors

Ok What about a Spoonbill

 

[BillN_33]

Black Redstart please, male would be nice

 

[Mikechappers]

I got one, maybe if the thread sticks I will post it, but its not my turn yet !

 

[guess&press]

I've got a really bad one (I specialise in these, as you may have noticed!) and it's a female to boot. So if we do get stuck and don't want to bend the rules I can put that up, but it would be nice to see a good one....

 

[BillN_33]

female is OK with me Dave

SEO - shown but omitted from your list
Red-necked Grebe - requested but not delivered
Ruff - can't see it?

Hope this helps
