The list - an update

With nearly 100 species seen so far this year, adding new ones to the list is getting more difficult. While out looking for Hen harrier this week, I only got Red grouse and Red-legged partridge.

The day previously, while I crawled forward to get this shot of Oystercatchers in the Forest of Bowland, I flushed a pair of Grey partridge (a red list species).

  1. Hi Clive.

    Re: Scotland, Loch Garten is the place to start! Ospreys (hopefully, by the time you get there), Crested Tits, funny crossbills, Red Squirrels, and Capercaillie if you get there early.

    If you want to e-mail me (bogbumper at gmail dot com) I can send some more info.
