Steve Collins |
Red-necked and Grey Phalarope, Temminck's
Stint, Red-necked Grebe, Spotted Crake and Whiskered Tern are amongst his best
county birds. |

Geoff Hargreaves |
Geoff's favourite birds so far are Grey
Phalarope, Black Tern and self-found Spoonbill. He still requires many borough
birds, most notable of which is Green Woodpecker which continues to evade him! |

Mike Passant |
Now residing in the north-east (and I don't mean
of our county either!), Mike has some decent borough birds but none more so that
the Scotmans Flash Collared Pratincole! |
