    A month in Australia

    Hi Duncan, I'm sure that some of the Oz birders on here will be able to give you better info than I can on this, but as far as I know Barren Grounds is quite tough for Ground Parrot these days. Generally GPs are only seen when flushed, and at Barren Grounds the vegetation is very dense off...

    World year list record

    I seem to recall seeing in the biographical details bit on the inside cover of James Clements Birds of the World checklist that he had done a big world year list - this may be the official record?
