    Subspecies groups and future splits

Even across it's huge range, including the resident populations in the Sundas, the song is recognisably "one more bottle". Does the lack of breeding records really factor into this equation...

    Subspecies groups and future splits

    The common names Sumatran Frogmouth and Bornean Frogmouth are already in widespread use following the split of Short-tailed Frogmouth several years ago. I have a feeling there's still a lot of work required on the Blyth's/Sunda/Javan/Palawan complex!
