We look for some of our more scarce wading birds, we go looking for some rare gulls at a smelly rubbish tip, and we search for two unusual ducks!

Cracked up at the buzzard. Great video! The footage of the birds you manage to get is really solid!

the common buzzard is also often found on lamp posts and trees near highways

Love your videos. Any,bird seen in the UK,should be added to your bird list. That’s the idea. Good luck completing your number. I look forward to seeing your videos through the year.😃👍🏽

Nice vide guys, didnt know there were patridges there, cool! Also, Simon (my cat) approves. He was very agitated by the gulls and batted the tv a couple of times.

this you may find interesting the great Austrian scientist states that the siskin is the only bird you can take from the wild adult and it will become tame and confiding in captivity the black headed gulls here n paisley not nearly as forward as yours best wishes luv your input jj stewart 👍👍😊😊

Hi. There is a gull with yellow legs similar in size to the Herring gulls at 1140 on the roof walking left in the bottom right corner.

at 11:48 there is I'm sure a Yellow-legged Gull. It drops in from the top of the screen and heads down towards the bottom right at about 11:50. It's hard to gauge how dark the grey of its wings is but it looks lighter than the Lesser Black-backed in the same frames and darker than Herring. Pretty much spot on, given the yellow legs, for Yellow-legged.

Thanks! that would be great. I will take a look.

It is a LBB Gull (gaellsii - the palest form). The mantle is too ‘still’ dark for Yellow-legged.

I'm baffled that in so many country's you can tick exotic species like the Red-legged Partridge and Wood Duck for a yearlist. In the Netherlands we don't count them.

@sarathompson-hall8027 5 ай бұрын

I don't know how it works elsewhere, but the ABA has a list of introduced species and specific regions of North America where they can be counted, because they've become established populations. For example, Mute Swan is countable from Quebec to South Carolina, but wouldn't be countable in California.

@matthewrmellor 4 ай бұрын

you're right, we Brits do count some fairly dubious, obviously naturalised species in our category C. I doubt that Wood Duck would be in that category, though. Would be category E here so not really countable. There may be some cases made for eg immature birds after strong storms in October, I guess, but I think there's too much doubt over the origin of so many wildfowl that even when there isn't any "bling" (rings/wing tags etc), people are reluctant to count them. However, it's fair to say we seem to get a lot more vagrant N American wildfowl than in the Netherlands: eg Ring-necked Duck is not particularly rare, nor are the two Scaups (though Lesser has ranged from mega-rare to rare to scarce and back to rare). At the moment Lesser Scaup seems to be reasonably numerous here in the UK, but I think my first one since I started birding in 2010 was in 2019! Since then I've seen loads! Just enjoyed your Moustached Warbler video - congratulations!

And snipe beyond the Canadas shortly before the wood duck. I especially liked the Long tailed tit and siskin footage. Nothing wrong with beind seen wearing glasses Kayleigh, even though we know you are already eagle eyed and find so much!
