I have noticed that this type of thread has recently returned to a measure of popularity in the forum. As a fan of Australia and its amazing wildlife, here is one that I have thought of for a while:
How many grasswrens have you seen?
There are only 11* species in the genus Amytornis and all live in out of the way places in Australia. I have never seen any grasswrens myself, so I haven't got any to post here! What are the chances of anyone seeing all 11?
*There are 11 according to the recent IOC World Bird List (3.1) but 10 in Pizzey & Knight (2007), the additional species being the western grasswren.
