Fulmar is Northern Fulmar

Yes, that was what I was thinking - it can come off the list anyhoo.

I did report it on my list for the UK back on post#whatever it was.

I'll re-do the numbers tonight. I now just need to keep repeating to myself not to double-count Fulmar and Northern Fulmar...

At least no-one had Double Dark Fulmar .. or did they? ;-)

Hi,

Thanks for the list! I can contribute a Long-Eared Owl (in Northern Germany).

For those not in Europe, we can presume that the 'woodcock' is the Eurasian Woodcock, and the 'Bittern' is the Eurasian Bittern. Also, is Red Grouse a species, or should it be Willow Grouse?

 

[Swindon Addick]

IOC seem to have it as Willow Ptarmigan, which will definitely confuse most of us in the UK. Corrected version of that last set of new species:

552) Red-legged Partridge
553) Eurasian Bittern
554) Eurasian Woodcock
555) Jack Snipe
556) Merlin
557) Willow Ptarmigan (Red Grouse)
558) Long-eared Owl

Sangster et al 2022 make the case to revert to species status for Red Grouse...

That would be a case of "Beam me up Scotica" ?
