Mar 13, 2007. #112. lostinjapan said: My favorite story about Lee and I never had the gumption to ask him if it is true is the one where another certain now Millionaire twitcher asked him to pull over as he was doing over 100mph on narrow country lanes in pursuit of a (later to be relegated to Category D) Mugimaki Flycatcher.
Nov 11, 2010 · Nice one Lee Lee mentioned a lot of conservation subjects such as demize of farmland species etc which we should all echo his sentiments, however don't agree with his view on ruddy ducks they should go the same way as mink, grey squirrel and canada geese. That apart Fair play to him and long may he reign:king:
Well-known member. Mar 8, 2007. #25. I could'nt care less if Lee Evans has retired from twitching or not. If he has given up twitching, i dont think he will be greatly missed by most birders,just the birders who are keen twitchers and who are in his 400 Club. Last edited: Mar 8, 2007.

Jun 23, 2011 · This is based on that in part for species way before my time. (That comparison did not include Mel Billington so I have no knowledge of his list in respect of the blockers from the 60's, 70's and 80's.) Steve Webb's list is 549 on BUBO including (I believe) 4 species which are pending - Alder Flycatcher; House Finch; Slaty-backed Gull; and ...
Hmm his local patch is the UK Presumably now the great birding/twitching book that we have all been waiting for will be written? It'll probably sell more copies than the New Collins guide! Have the last laugh Lee and write it! This thread alone warrants it's own chapter! All the Best John.
