| | | Gallery Firsts
Who would like to get a Gallery First? I have at John's suggestion started a list of Birds still needed to make the Bird Gallery complete.
So far:-
All Warblers except for Chiffchaff, Blackcap and Whitethroat
Bearded Tit or Reedling
Little Auk
Buntings Corn, Yellow-browed and Cirl
Great Bustard which I think has been re-introduced
Buzzard Honey, Rough-legged
Capercaillie
Chough
Corncrake again re-introduced in the Nene Washes
Spotted Crake
Crane
Scottish Crossbill
Hooded Crow
That is all for now folks but will try to increase the list during the coming week. No prizes for getting any of these but the admiration from those of us who haven't been successful. Some of these I know will not have arrived for another few weeks but it is as well to be prepared!

I have one of a Spotted Crake already in the Gallery. I have alo uploaded a few months ago Sardinian and Reed warbler. I have just uploaded a bad photo of a Grasshopper warbler and will now check my photos to see if I have any of the list you have supplied that are good enough to upload.
I have just uploaded another two not very good photos of a Whimbrel and the rarest bird you will have in your Gallery, a Sociable Plover which is now on the edge of extinction.

Sorry John, the Warblers was from memory. Mine is none too good. Age related I think

Hi Winnie
From your list I have added:
Corn Bunting
Cirl Bunting
Chough
Hooded Crow
Common Crane
Most of them are lousy photos but at least the species is now represented. It will spur other members to go out and get better shots, which should be an easy target to achieve.

Now all we need is glsammy or others to get out there with recording gear and let us hear what the birds in the images sound like.

It's a shame we can't upload the little 35 second movie clips that I can take with my camera. I don't have too many but I do have a few. The Lesserpecker is one of them but I also have Sociable Plover, Buff Breasted Sandpiper, Temminks Stint plus a few more.
