We asked: what’s the bogey bird that still eludes you?
Osprey. I live in Dorset and still haven’t seen one. Clare Slade
It’s a toss up between Gurney’s Pitta & Pied Flycatcher. Mark Skinner
Nutcracker. Tried and failed several times to see it in Europe. Ian Parsons
Ptarmigan. Three trips to the Highlands in the last three years, still haven’t seen them. @notsotweets
This year, Black Redstart and Lesser Whitethroat to name but two. In general, Pomarine Skua... John Rowland
It was Quail, but I finally got to see one two years ago, and another this year (UK only). @Birduder344
I would love to spot a Hoopoe. @Neilneil01
Green Woodpecker. Can’t count the one that expired after hitting the window of a house in Norway! @cashandcarrots
After last year’s visit to Western Isles and not seeing the Black-billed Cuckoo I’d have to say that one now! Hopefully get one on Scilly in October! Ian Bennell
