I've been on a month's holiday in New Zealand and am using a birding app, as well as other web sources for information. One thing I'm unable to find an answer to is when can you count a tick for a bird that is called by another name. Some examples of names used in NZ birding app:
Shags - is this a new tick or the same bird as the cormorants?
Pukeko - is this a new tick or is this the same bird as the Purple Swamp Hen?
Thanks in advance for anyone who might have the answer to this!
