There are 2 pictures that seem to have gone unnoticed yesterday in the gallery. I added a comment to alert a Mod, but I don't think anyone's seen it. There's only one image in the gallery and opus of this rather rare species.

Thanks Chris

They're rather nice pictures aren't they.

**delia todd** · Wednesday 6th October 2010, 08:05

RobHynson has added pictures to Antarctic Prion and Kermadec Petrel.

Thanks very much Rob.

wintibird · Thursday 14th October 2010, 15:01

And another new one: Yellow-breasted Tailorbird

André

Swissboy · Sunday 17th October 2010, 09:53

I have added two more to the gallery, actually one new species: Christmas Island Imperial-Pigeon:
http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/sho...8/limit/recent

And one race, the quite distinctive golden (Christmas Island) form of the White-tailed Tropicbird:

http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/sho...3/limit/recent

and

http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/sho...2/limit/recent

The regular white plumage occurs there as well, and there seem to be many mixed pairs. Thus it's clear it's only a race or even just a color variant. A very nice one however.

Sorry that I could not get them any closer. They were so fast and my camera only managed to get them in focus when there was a bit more time due to the distance.

**delia todd** · Sunday 17th October 2010, 10:39

Thanks very much for these Robert. Now added.

I have some more pictures, not necessarily new species. But 3 per 24 h is the rule.

Hi Robert

That rule needn't apply if they're new species for Opus - just make sure you add "For Opus" to the title when uploading.

wintibird · Sunday 17th October 2010, 20:05

And another one found: Rusty-backed Spinetail

André

PS: It's worth to check the pictures of photographers with lots of South American birds. We are pretty good in Asia, but we lack lots of species from South America.

**delia todd** · Thursday 21st October 2010, 20:37

Edenwatcher had a grand holiday in Madagascar:

Crossley's Babbler

Pollen's Vanga

Velvet Asity

Forest Rock-Thrush

... and he'd only just started LOL. Hopefully there'll be more to follow.

wintibird · Thursday 21st October 2010, 20:54

Good set of Malagasy species! Colombia Birding posted a picture of Velvet-fronted Euphonia which is also new for the Opus.

Thanks for the news Andre.. will keep adding some pics from our last October trip this week.

wintibird · Thursday 21st October 2010, 21:05

Wonderful, I can't wait to see them. I'm starting to learn about the South American Birds as my first trip to the Neotropics (to Peru, maybe later to Colombia) will take place next year...

Good luck in Peru Andre, great place to start... then, come to Colombia for all those other birds you still will need/want to see mouthwatering... ;-)

More Malagasy pictures from Edenwatcher:

Ashy Cuckoo-shrike
Rufous-headed Ground Roller

wintibird · Saturday 23rd October 2010, 08:16

And another one from Swissboy from Christmas Island:
Christmas Island White-eye

André

**delia todd** · Saturday 23rd October 2010, 14:13

Ionemosia has put a great picture of Sunbird Asity on Rob's thread.

D

**delia todd** · Saturday 23rd October 2010, 21:33

Brown Mesite from Rob's thread.

Aren't they doing well!

D

wintibird · Monday 25th October 2010, 16:09

Helmeted Woodpecker from Intervales. Also deleted the "no recent records" in South Brazil as this record seems to be very recent

André

njlarsen · Monday 25th October 2010, 16:59

Nice, good to know that for once it was good news!

Niels

**delia todd** · Monday 25th October 2010, 22:33

Madagascar Hoopoe, from Rob's fascinating read.

D

njlarsen · Tuesday 26th October 2010, 17:36

Zigzag Heron from Jeff Hopkins

Niels

**delia todd** · Tuesday 26th October 2010, 23:19

Robert's Warbler (or Briar Warbler) from cossypha was added to the Gallery tonight.

D

**delia todd** · Wednesday 27th October 2010, 15:48

I found a picture from Birdingcraft of a Charming Hummingbird in the Gallery.

D

wintibird · Wednesday 27th October 2010, 19:05

Found 21 pages which were placed in the "missing images" category but which had a photo! The trick was to do a search with "missing images photo by".

So another 21 closer to the big goal!
