Not sure which I would most like to see, but so far this year I'm having no luck with Green Woodpecker or Nuthatch - they'd do for now.

I really want to see a Honey Buzzard, it's incredible I haven't seen one yet. On a Global scale I want to see a Light-mantled Sooty Albatross, I've always been facinated by these magnificant seabirds ....one day!!!

From the other birds mentioned I can see Black-throated Diver within an hours drive from home, Black Grouse, Green Woodpecker and Nuthatch are within 30 minutes drive from here but no Honey Buzzards

I thought Green Woodpecker and Nuthatch would be reasonably easy to find in Lancashire, Nuthatch are frequent at feeding area behind Leighton Moss visitor centre, I've also seen Green Woodpecker there.

cheers, John

No to bothered about Bairds, had one a few years back near my house, now Sabines Gull has always been a bogey bird to me, missed 4 in Lothain alone but I see a couple showing in Cheshire, then Fish and Chips and home for a pint in the Local. Oh I can Dream. lol.

Ivory-billed Woodpecker. I would love to be the first to get a pic of it. I don't know how many millions that would be worth but, I'm pretty sure I would be buying a lot more land. Not to mention being in awe the rest of my life.
