    Dwayne950's 2005 list

    Final post on this thread, and with no year listing in 2006 due to GCSE's, probably the last on a year list thread for a while!!! Today finished with a flourish (which one year tick is nowadays!!). Spent the majority of the day with MenzieBirder and GV in Somerset watching the Black Throated...

    Well, no one can say i'm not cramming as much in to the end of December as possible - yet another year tick today, and in fact a UK tick, in the roost at Ogston Res, Derbyshire, which is producing hordes of white-winged gulls at present. Upon arrival things were not looking too good, with thick...

    Continuing the 'train transported twitching' theme, I arrived in Dumfries at 1142am yesterday, my target being the Taverners Canada Goose at Caerlaverock WWT. Me and MenzieBirder caught the bus to the WWT centre, which dropped us off a full 3 miles from where we wanted to be!!! Upon arrival news...

    Hi all, Have neglected this thread for quite a while now, so it's about due a rather copious update!! Hopefully not too boring though.... Mainly haven't been updating 'cuz i've been in the Caribbean on a cricket tour, so haven't jammed much UK birding in of late, but have managed to do some...

    'Nipped' down to Herts of the Grey Cheeked Thrush (thanks mum et Reader!), and the bird was fairly obliging at times, posing on the path near which we were all gathered at one point.....there really was too many birders there however, and only by virtually crawling through the mud at the front...

    A morning dash across to Anglesey on Saturday morning with GV (thanks for't lift!) was worth Green Heron - stunning bird!!! And may i point out that nothing but immaculate behaviour was displayed from all present..... That was then followed by my second views this year - and for once it was...

    268: Long Tailed Duck Cleared up yet another tart by taking the short jaunt out to Long Eaton GPs for an ad drake Long Tailed Duck, and what a stonker it was!!!! Full long tail and superb plumage, recommend going to see it for any local birders.

    Well, managed to wangle a day off school to twitch the Chimney Swift on Holy Isle with the lovely Sylvia. We'd had it on decent authority that the bird had roosted in the church bell tower at 4pm, so at 2.45am when i got up, my hopes were high. However these were soon flattened when by 10am...

    265: Grey Phalarope at Blithfield Reservoir Connected with this bird 5 minutes before it disappeared off in to the sunset, the 2nd for Blith in as many days, due to the fact that yesterdays bird was an adult, and this appeared to be a juvenille.

    Haven't been able to update for a while - just got back off a sort of double holiday, 4 days in Spurn Obs, 4 in Kent, had a great time, and collected 12 year ticks, along with 4 lifers!!!! Cleared a lot of tarts, and also saw the caudatus Long Tailed Tits a total of 4 times - they followed me...

    Granted - it's a bit late to be putting my 2005 list up on here with a view to write it up as I go, but I figure it's a good place to keep it, as well as show off what i've seen!!!!! :hippy: My 2005 list up to know stands at 252 (uk400). Life birds for me are emboldened. I'm off to Spurn on...
