9110 Red-spectacled Parrot

 

[foresttwitcher]

I'm sure Shoebill will have been played already.

 

[Swindon Addick]

Shoebill was number 6856. A bit surprising it was played so late - although obviously most of us, including me, have never seen one, I'd have expected it to be pretty memorable for the minority who have!

A shame it wasn't available, as the link from spectacles to a shoe was a good one, and rather more impressive than the original link (Okarito Kiwi completed a family when played, and so did Shoebill).

And speaking of completing families:

9107 Mottled Berryhunter

Another family completed. Yes, OK, it's a one-species family.

9111. Auckland Islands Shag

It's got red spectacles-ish!

9112 Diamantina Tapacula - not really an island but Chapada Diamantina is an isolated area with plateaus and mountains like an island .

9112 Diamantina Tapacula - not really an island but Chapada Diamantina is an isolated area with plateaus and mountains like an island .

Not really a new species either, sadly. It was number 8004 on the spreadsheet (numbered 8003 on the thread).

Sorry should have looked at un-played more closely (diademed is there). Found this on Serra Bonita mountain so same rationale 9112 Variegated Antpitta.

 

[Swindon Addick]

Unless Delia tells us otherwise, I'm going to assume her Intermediate Egret was A. intermedia intermedia, meaning Plumed Egret and Yellow-billed Egret are both now available if anyone's seen one, thanks to the IOC's taxonomic generosity. Good luck finding a connection from either of them to Variegated Antpitta, though...
