    Your Most Recent "Life" Bird

    It's been on my list 3 times now 😁. Once back in the late 70's.... until it came off when I got into "world birding" ... to go back on again in the mid 90's when I saw some "across the pond"... Only to come off again a few years later when those ones became Cackling Geese..... And now it's on...

    Canada Goose at last! #5491 (at the mo). Finally got round to twitching a presumed vagrant (non-introduced) bird in Lancashire. My first lifer for more than a year, and in all likelihood the only new bird I'll get this year.

    ...it's also possible that Hawfinch was a lifer for Xenospiza many many years ago on a holiday to Germany 😊

    Hooray! My first non-armchair lifer in just over a year: Balearic Warbler, two obliging and lovely males in Mallorca's Boquer valley, 36 years after my only Marmora's (back when there was no such species as Balearic Warbler!) B (:

    Blue-fronted Lancebill at Arena Blanca. One of 6 lifer hummers in a couple of hours this morning while standing in the same spot! 14 spp seen in that time, including a hermit I couldn't identify (grey-chinned or Reddish).

    lol. That's a perfect example of a bird I couldn't remember whether I'd seen or not. In this case I had to look through all my Borneo notes before having to come to the conclusion I didn't see "Buff-vented" Bulbul in Borneo, and had to also admit that I may well have overlooked it by not...
