Green Listing 2024 - Joint Thread (9 Viewers)

Another day another goose...

101. Greylag Goose 3rd May

This had not been added to the UK list - albeit recorded by Swindon Addick - so I have adjusted the list accordingly and now 123 for the UK.

All the best

Got Corncrake yesterday and Great Reed Warbler today, within some 2 km from home, but couldn't be bothered to properly greenlist them.

For Europe I added Merlin and Hoopoe on 30 April and Cuckoo today, the hoopoe and Cuckoo both new for the World list too.

Had Cuckoo on May 1, but I didn't suspect it wasn't on the list, so I didn't greenlist it (in other cases above, instead of following the same way home once again, I often prefer to take the bus and go for a walk elsewhere instead).

EDIT: Too far for me to want to walk or cycle there, but it's interesting that there are no records of Common Tern or Black Tern by anyone yet.

Post #112 had cuckoo on the 16th April

I have to say that my thin pickings continue whilst friends on patch are bumping into slightly better - must try harder or a change of luck... I will try the first for a week or so and hope for the second:-

102. Sedge Warbler 5th May

This is now 124 for the UK.

All the best

Had Sedge Warbler on May 1, too, but elsewhere; surprised it wasn't on the list, too. Locally, it's an uncommonish passage migrant (they might breed in a few small pockets elsewhere in Warsaw) -- a bit like Common Reed Warbler and Great Reed Warbler, though the latter two breed more extensively in other parts of the city. For a full picture, Marsh Warbler is a locally common breeder (less so in other parts of the city) and Icterine Warbler is a locally moderately common breeder.
