The important list to me anyway... The list of birds I haven't found myself in UK!
The Bubo listing site is looking really good ( http://www.bubo.org/listing/ ). Have entered my British Self-found list on there, and can run a report on the "easiest" species missing from my list, based on others's lists.
Top one is Rock Dove, which everyone has seen except me! I suspect people are counting Feral Pigeons, or eveyone has been to the Outer Hebrides! Apart from that, the list of target "finds" has some fairly easy species (or at least easy now that I am within 30 mins of the coast). Some species that a trip to North Uist would probably solve, and a whole host of scarce and semi-rares that if I'm lucky will stumble across one or two. Good thing is I've seen all but one of the list below either twitched, or in Europe, so am fairly familiar with them. Difficult part is finding them!
