It certainly is superlative. I see that the Americans have been treating Black-necked Stilt as a different species from Black-winged at least as far back as the Audubon Society Master Guide to Birding (1983). Yet the Helm Shorebirds guide (1986) treats them as conspecific. What is the BOU's current position on this?

Sorry. This doesn't mean a lot to me as I wasn't around when you did the GGBC. I was just wondering whether the BOU had split Black-winged Stilt.

Sorry, Jason, I can not help you with what the BOU says.
