As you all know, a couple of posts back (1075) I was wondering about " the commonest bird I've never seen ?" ... .. so I also wondered .. "what's the commonest bird you've never seen ?" So, seeing as I started it, I feel obliged to show you my shortlist of six .... .. in no particular order ... I can't pin down their relative common-ness! ... and probably not the totally accurate shortlist anyway.... Black Kite (missed them several times) Ptarmigan ( I ran out of time on a short Scottish holiday) Capercaillie ( only had an hour or so in its main area.) Two-barred Crossbill ( missed one in Wales)(Grrr) Radde's Warbler ( dipped a few times) Penduline Tit ( missed out on them twice) But how do I whittle that down to the commonest one ? I've tried putting them in "order of common-ness" but I haven't been able to dig out enough relevant data. I suppose Ptarmigan might be the one . BUT ... it would be fascinating to get some shortlists + final selections from some of you. So ...I'll leave that to you to have a go at. My email is, as always, [email protected] And/or you could put them on here as a comment. Meantime, 'tis still Roy Harper Week ....... " The Same Old Rock"
