Very interesting and enjoyable, well done - looking forward to 'Y' and 'Z' . Z is challenging, - I can only think of 'zero,' which is the number of sightings we've had of a Bittern or a 'Great White Egret' in Uskmouth!
How prophetic John .. I did indeed use Z is for Zero in the end and I have only just seen this post!
I used Zero in an utterly different context.
Here is the final part of the blog I put up a couple of weeks back but I've had zero time to put a link here!

Anthony, Just happened to notice this latest post of yours and so glad I did! Thanks for a lovely series of blogs. However I have to take issue with you on one small point. I contest your assertion that the Great Crested Grebe courting dance is the most romantic although it is charming, I admit. But for sheer drama, I prefer the courting dance of Cranes--so stately and elegant, bowing and dancing, wings out for balance and so beautiful to see. But then I am probably biased, having been awakened by my Mum early one summer morning in my childhood to see a pair of dancing Cranes in our misty, early-morning field.
Kind regards, Ann
Ant that was a fabulous post to finish your A-Z. The story of the Passenger Pigeon is a lesson to us all about the dangers of complacency and today is the actual anniversary of the death of 'Martha'. With regard to the Yellowhammer I had never seen one before my trip to the Sugar Loaf this Spring and just in case there's anybody following our forum who didn't catch it the first time around I'll place a link here!
