Do you have an actual scientific name to go with Snoring bird?
It's first mentioned a few posts back Mysticete - it has a few names but known as Snoring Rail in Opus - Aramidopsis plateni. I had to do a bit of research to find it LOL.

that is correct, but as lewis20126 says, not really any point putting them on the list because all have been commonly seen (although I haven't managed to see the darn great spotted kiwi yet)I am researching this whole Kiwi species thing and will try to get it sorted.
It would appear to me that currently there are five species of Kiwi.
North Island Brown (A. mantelli)
Okarito Brown (A. rowi)
Southern Brown (A. australis)
* The Stewart Island Southern Brown (A. a. lawryi) is a subspecies of the Southern Brown
Great Spotted A. haastii)
Little Spotted (A. owenii)
The only birds that may worth adding at some of the more difficult Chatham endemics and I recall someone on here has seen all of those I think?

No point in adding any Kiwis to the not seen list (if that is suggested). Plenty of folk have seen most of them and I've seen the three on South island for example.

Alan, which of the "more difficult Chatham endemics" would you suggest that I put on the "Not seen" list?

Yes, the Mountain Starling in Vanuatu -- not the possibly extinct one in Micronesia.

These are fairly easy on the slopes of the Tien Shan range around the Astronomical Observatory above Almaty in Kazakhstan, which is on the itinerary of pretty much all the birding trips to this country, so I doubt I'll be the only one on BF to have seen them.
How about Kinglet Calyptura!

Thanks, Diego, I have moved the puffbird to the "Seen" list!
