White-winged Scoter - armchair tick!

The BOURC today added the White-winged Scoter present at Murcar, Aberdeens from the 11th - 23rd June 2011 to category A of the British List enabling yours truly to add an armchair tick to my British List (483).

Definitely less exciting than the Bridled Tern...but a tick none the less!

I realise I have somewhat prematurely added Dusky Thrush. This is because I personally feel strongly that it is kosher. If however it is rejected, I will remove it. I do have other pending species...namely

Hooded Merganser

Thayer's Gull

Slaty-backed Gull

Royal Tern

"Empid Flycatcher"

House Finch

I don't always agree with the decisions but I ALWAYS abide by them...

P.S. I do have my own personal list...like anybody cares!!
