the link to Master list (v8.2, Excel file XLSX, 1.7Mb) seems to deliver V8.1 ?
The link is not updated but the new version is there: http://www.worldbirdnames.org/master_ioc_list_v8.2.xlsx
I can't download this as an Excel spreadsheet only gobbldegook in .txt
Any idea of splits relevant to ABA area or WP? It looks like I get Iberian Grey Shrike and Mahgreb Magpie. What about the other previous members of Lanius Meridonalis, are they all still together?
I dare say all will be properly downloadable when the work in progress is complete
All previous meridionalis subspecies except nominate moved to excubitor. They still (strangely) accept pallidirostris as a separate species though.

Download Scythebill and once you input your data and updates are installed, it incorporates all your armchair ticks automatically though I don't know when IOC 8.2 will be incorporated?

I really can't speak highly enough of this free programme.
Going back to the IOC, most of your questions will probably be answered by looking at the proposals which preempt any updates.

I can't see anything about Iberian Grey Shrike anywhere. How am I missing it?
Two magpie forms will be ticks though, maybe even three. And a seedeater.
And at the moment all the master lists seem to be unavailable, just a load of unintelligible rubbish on notepad.

June 16 Treat Lanius meridionalis as monotypic Iberian Grey Shrike
Sounds to me as if IOC is doing exactly the same
Thanks - they have clearly just missed it out of the list of changes.
What happens to Southern Grey Shrike? HBW/Birdlife split out Iberian and lump the rest back with Great Grey.
Steve
PS Now able to access the proper list. This shrike seems to be causing problems though - look at the notes for meridionalis where it says 'change English name to more appropriate Iberian Grey Magpie' !

Elsewhere, IOC 8.2 also lists the re-sequencing of Phylloscopus (incorporating Asian Seicircus)...

Can you clarify that for me MJB, all I do is pass them on to Frank Gill. I can't see the document right now. A
