I may not be a committed twitcher, but I have lived long enough to see - and photograph - all ten British corvids. There will be a lot of younger birders out there who haven't had the pleasure of seeing a Nutcracker: there just hasn't been a twitchable one since 1991! I've included the Pied Crow, because it was a beautiful bird, took a lot of catching up with and was never proven to be a UK escape...

HI David,
There was a "twitchable" Nutcracker at Kingsdown, Kent on 6th & 7th September 1998. I should know, because I twitched it! Nice photos btw - Dylan
Hi Dylan!
That one slipped under my (decidely East Anglian) radar! Thanks for letting me know!
