    So there are two species in the same area? Presumably isolated from each other on habitat?

    Two people break 10,000 species, and on the same day? Can it be?

    For all its faults, BF has an amazing reputation for what one might call 'forensic birding'!

    That's interesting. How did you find that?....... as he doesn't show up on any searches.

    Two people break 10,000 species, and on the same day? Can it be?

    Or there's always 'continuous sound recording'....... I don't want to miss a thing: the benefits of continuous sound recording

    Two people break 10,000 species, and on the same day? Can it be?

    A further thought. A quick glance at his iGT page suggests that the only species for which a location or date is given are from the current Colombia tour ( i.e. in the few days around reaching 10,000). All other species just name a country. Normally, if transferring records to iGT, at the...

    Petition to AOS Leadership on the Recent Decision to Change all Eponymous Bird Names

    Petition to AOS Leadership on the Recent Decision to Change all Eponymous Bird Names

    Excellent comments from Jon Dunn. My main concern is that this AOS policy rewrites history and I have an instinctive dislike of that sort of action. I also find it the thin end of a ludicrous wedge. I look forward to that point in the future when we have successfully slayed the 'Climate...

    And.....once again....see above for the IOC list as per the IOC....not somebody else's version of it. I don't understand why that is so difficult to follow.....if I give the species my own names, it's not the true IOC list.
