Hoopoe

Cattle or great egret
A Shrike
A diver
Waxwing

A Shearwater
There are a lot on birds on others lists that I've seen in the last year so fingers crossed everyone. |

Out of my ten i've managed to see a golden eagle, nuthatch, red kite, and cuckoo this year. Going Scotland in may next year so hope to tick a few more off.
To replace those four i'd add a firecrest, Goshawk, Long Eared Owl and a Crossbill.

... | Funny that...you could feed pigs with them round here. Are there 'dry spots' around the country?
(btw: what do you call a woodpecker with no beak? A headbanger!) | | | |
