The BBC reports
Votes can now be cast in an online poll to choose what could become Britain’s first national bird.
Currently Britain does not have a national bird, but ornithologist David Lindo believes that should change.
A shortlist of 10 birds has been chosen by online voters on his campaign’s website from an original list of 60.
Read full article at BBC News – Poll to find first national bird for Britain.
The ten birds that are finalists are
- Barn Owl
- Blackbird
- Blue Tit
- Hen Harrier
- Kingfisher
- Mute Swan
- Puffin
- Red Kite
- Robin
- Wren
My personal favorite is the Kingfisher. However, as an American I don’t get to vote.
