And the next one: This is no longer Dicrurus hottentotus as the species has been split. It's now Dicrurus bracteatus, Spangled Drongo.

This three pictures: 1, 2 and 3 are correctly labelled with Black Drongo but with the wrong scientific name. It should be Dicrurus macrocercus .

Just working with Butcherbirds....;)

This is not Cracticus torquatus but Cracticus argenteus

The same case here.

The split is now widely accepted and also made in the Opus.

Hi André

I've changed the first one, but the second is already Cracticus argenteus it needs a re-direct for the subspecies ''colletti'' I think... if that's what's happening now.

Greetings from a cold and wet Perthshire!

Only "yesterday"? ;) I'm sure they were talking about some on ours a few weeks ago!

Good thing that is not me (24h temperatures between 24 and 30 C); I am still struggling with the cold I got in Glasgow (not bad enough to stay home, not good enough to feel good ...)
