Some really good species reported already - I'm pretty sure we've not had Somali Ostrich on one of these lists before! (We've had the other species of Ostrich at least once).

I didn't add it, as I'm waiting with baited breath for his complete list!

If I'd gone up to the Tablelands, there was a good chance I could have added Southern Cassowary.

Just checking - Great Black-headed Gull is a typo for Great Black-backed? On the basis that you said there was little spectacular. That'll be one less for the global list, unless someone in Europe has it.
