[QUOTE="Maffong, post: 3484484, member: 109113"] I just had a glance and found these differences [B]Greenland[/B]/Eurasian White-fronted Goose vs. Greater White-fronted Goose [B]Tundra[/B]/Taiga Bean Goose vs. Bean Goose Snow/[B]Ross's Snow[/B] Goose vs. Snow Goose Dark-bellied/[B]Pale-bellied/Black [/B]Brent Goose vs. Brent Goose North American Wood Duck vs. Not on list Cinnamon Teal vs. Not on list Marbled Duck vs. Not on list American/[B]Stejneger's[/B] White-winged Scoter vs. White-winged Scoter White-headed Duck vs. Not on list Cory's Shearwater vs. Cory's/[B]Scopoli's[/B] Shearwater Bulwer's Petrel vs. Not on list Madeiran Storm-Petrel vs. Not on list European White Pelican vs. Not on list American Least Bittern vs. Not on list Little Blue Heron vs. Not on list Greater Flamingo vs. Not on list American Bald Eagle vs. Not on list Eurasian Griffon Vulture vs. Not on list Eurasian Black Vulture vs. Not on list Red-shouldered Hawk (ship-assisted) vs. Not on list Booted Eagle vs. Not on list Western Swamphen vs. Not on list [B]Azorean[/B]/Yellow-legged Gull vs. Yellow-legged Gull Iceland/Thayer's Gull vs. Iceland Gull Little/[B]Least [/B]Tern vs. Little Tern Elegant Tern vs. Not on list [B]North American[/B]/Black Tern vs. Black Tern European Eagle Owl vs. Not on list White-rumped Swift vs. Not on list Northern Flicker (Ship-assisted) vs. Not on list Middle Spotted Woodpecker vs. Not on list Acadian Flycatcher vs. Not on list Eastern Kingbird vs. Not on list [B]North American[/B]/Horned Lark vs. Horned Lark Yellow/[B]Eastern Yellow/Black-headed[/B] Wagtail vs. Yellow Wagtail [B]White[/B]/Pied/[B]Amur White[/B] Wagtail vs. Pied Wagtail Siberian Accentor vs. Not on list Siberian/[B]Caspian [/B]Stonechat vs. Siberian Stonechat Grey-cheeked/[B]Bicknell's[/B] Thrush vs. Grey-cheeked Thrush Western/[B]Eastern [/B]Subalpine Warbler vs. Subalpine Warbler [B]Desert[/B]/Lesser Whitethorat vs. Lesser Whitethroat [B]Two-barred[/B]/Greenish vs. Greenish Warbler [B]Siberian[/B]/Chiffchaff vs. Chiffchaff Mugimaki Flycatcher vs. Not on list Great Grey/[B]Saxaul Grey[/B] Shrike vs. Great Grey/[B]Southern Grey[/B] Shrike Indian House Crow (ship-assisted) vs. Not on list Daurian Starling vs. Not on list Mealy/[B]Northwestern[/B] Redpoll vs. Common Redpoll Hornemann's/[B]Scandinavian[/B] Arctic Redpoll vs. Arctic Redpoll Parrot Crossbill vs. Parrot/[B]Scottish [/B]Crossbill Blue-winged Warbler vs. Not on list Canada Warbler vs. Not on list Spotted Towhee (ship-assisted) vs. Not on list Field Sparrow (ship-assisted) vs. Not on list Fox Sparrow vs. Not on list Chestnut Bunting vs. Not on list Red-headed Bunting vs. Not on list Rusty Blackbird vs. Not on list Yellow-headed Blackbird vs. Not on list Neither list Dalmatian Pelican, Red-footed Booby, Daurian Shrike, Lammergeier. Most birds missing from the BOU list are Category D (which I think should be countable), some have yet to be accepted (Thayer's Gull (?), Acadian Flycatcher, Eastern Kingbird, Siberian Accentor), some were ship-assisted (Red-tailed Hawk, Northern Flicker, Field Sparrow, Indian House Crow, Spotted Towhee), some occured only in Ireland (Slaty-backed Gull, Canada Warbler, Blue-winged Warbler) and the rest are splits. I must admit I prefer the Club400 way, eventhough I don't support a few of the splits they do (Redpolls, Wagtails, Brants) and allowing to include ship-assisted birds. Now on basis of this comparison I guess it should be possible to convert this years attempt to the BOU list Maffong [/QUOTE]
