Name a Bird You've Seen 2 (2 Viewers)

Would it be possible to do a 'reverse list' - all the species that haven't been played yet? Doubt there's any left that I've seen, but not impossible.

Checking through my list I can find 85 birds I'm pretty sure haven't been played yet (though a few may have been played under a different name).

Some areas of it I need to go through more thoroughly, as I'm bound to have overlooked some. I've been constantly surprised by birds I thought had gone over the last few days. My only way to check is to physically type in each bird, and look up the IOC name, so my searching is pretty haphazard.

I made an excel sheet for that. I just copied my lifelist into it together with the list of birds that have already been played and with COUNTIF() excel checks which of my birds have been played. Then sort and voila, a list of my birds that haven't been played. Only 2 left :(
