[QUOTE="StevePreddy, post: 1722085, member: 37455"] First, hi to Killian, good to know you find this helpful. If you want a proofreader for the 3rd edition in 2021, you know where to find me :-) Thanks for the further suggestions from everyone else - as Killian says, keep them coming. I'll consolidate them all into a single list and post this here once new suggestions dry up. Someone out there mentioned "sommer" in place of "summer" - any idea where? Are there any other points about the illustrations that are worth including in the list, other than the darkness of the harriers? I've delved a bit deeper into the British statuses, and here are a few more suggested amendments to these. Let me know if you disagree. p. 62 Yellow-billed Loon: British status should be V* p. 74 Wilson’s Storm Petrel: British status should be V* p. 82 Cattle and Great Egrets: British status should be V* p. 84 White Stork: British status should be V* p. 86 Glossy Ibis: British status should be V** p. 144 American Golden Plover: British status should be V* p. 170 Stilt Sandpiper: British status should be V** p. 196 Franklin’s Gull: British status should be V** p. 202 Caspian Tern: British status should be V** p. 220 Great Spotted Cuckoo: British status should be V** p. 224 Snowy Owl: British status should be V** p. 236 Pallid Swift: British status should be V** p. 236 Alpine Swift: British status should be V* p. 250 Short-toed Lark: British status should be V* p. 250 Red-rumped Swallow: British status should be V* p. 280 Red-flanked Bluetail: British status should be V** P. 300 Black-throated Thrush: British status should be V** p. 324 Subalpine Warbler: British status should be V* p. 320 Blyth’s Reed and Paddyfield Warblers: British status should be V** p. 334 Hume’s Leaf Warbler: British status should be V** p. 352 Lesser Grey Shrike: British status should be V** p. 354 Isabelline Shrike: British status should be V** p. 370 Rose-coloured Starling: British status should be V* p. 386 Two-barred Crossbill: British status should be V** p. 398 Pine Bunting: British status should be V** p. 400 Black-headed Bunting: British status should be V** p. 402 Rock Bunting: British status should be V*** Steve [/QUOTE]
