Dartford Warblers- and onwards

[lammie]

I 'm sure we did the Long Eared Owl.

Well done on the GGS - the only time I saw one I was sans camera.

The GGS hung around for about 6 weeks and I don't think it let anyone get near enough to it to get a decent shot.
You're correct CT we have had the LE Owl, I'll change that then for a Spotted Sand (there's been one of these around Topsham for quite a while now).

 

[markyboy.1967]

Looks like we are struggling now--anyone move this forward.

 

[Tbabe]

I don't think we've had an ordinary Crow?

 

[artyman]

erm what haven't we had...... Meadow Pipit

 

[Cuddy]

Meadow Pipit post 249 Ken, getting hard t remember everything

 

[IanC_UK]

there are probably a lot of very common species that havent been asked for yet, as we seem to have had a load of tricky ones lol

Think there are other piputs that havent been asked for, there is a thread with a list of all the birds already been asked for about

 

[RJL2005]

Sorry Ken but your Crow is a Jackdaw (white eye)
Nice portrait though

 

[CT]

Sorry Ken but your Crow is a Jackdaw (white eye)

LOL. So it is. Common Crow still required then. I have one but I'd be waaaay out of turn.

 

[artyman]

Doh, pay attention lad! I've got it down as a Jackdaw on my spreadsheet as well

 

[markyboy.1967]

So what bird are we now looking for?:shrug:

 

[CT]

To kick start the thread again then..

 

[CT]

To kick start the thread again then..

LOL. I'll replace it with a bigger version if I can find it.

I think it's about time we had a Shag.

 

[Martyn...]

You can have more than one Cedric



Can we have a Whitethroat please ...

 

[IanC_UK]

Whitethroat

Might be tricky, Red Necked Phalarope

 

[Martyn...]

Might be tricky, Red Necked Phalarope

Was that not the bird that was picked off by a Buzzard whilst being twitched, last year or the year before ?

 

[grumpybadger]

No, that was a grey phalarope. I hope to had red necked pictures by July but the thread may not wait for me.

 

[lammie]

RN Phalarope, just a record shot big crop.

Goosander next please

 

[IanC_UK]

better than mine Lammie, mine was taken from a Whale Watching boat in Northern Iceland, so im looking down on its head lol

 

[Cuddy]

Ok Skylark next

 

[CT]

You can have more than one Cedric

 

[DaiTheDragon]

Ring Ouzel please
Sorry that been done
Lesser Yellowlegs please

 

[RJL2005]

Hi Dai, think we may be a bit stuck on L yellowlegs Maybe something slightly more common to keep the tread alive?

 

[DaiTheDragon]

Rock Pipit then please

 

[Cuddy]

Blackcap should be easy

 

[IanC_UK]

unfortunately Blackcap has already gone

 

[Cuddy]

Sorry everyone Ians correct. Lets try for a Water Pipit then.

 

[markyboy.1967]

There must be at least a few with a Water Pitit--c`mon keep this thread moving

 

[Cuddy]

Okay something a bit easier to keep things moving Willow Warbler.

 

[markyboy.1967]

I dont think we have had a Swift

 

[RJL2005]

How about a Marsh or a Willow Tit?

 

[paul_g]

Here's a willow tit

So Marsh tit next please

 

[paul_g]

Someone must have a Marsh Tit. In many parts of the country they are more common than Willow Tit and come more readily to feeders.

 

[Tbabe]

has redwing gone ?

 

[bren-escape]

I hope not

How about Snipe?

 

[Bill19]

We had a snipe a while ago

 

[Tbabe]
