[QUOTE="Paul Chapman, post: 1418443, member: 69491"] Shifty - Ascension Frigatebird does not qualify because the record is over 50 years old but a number of odd decisions I agree. Missing Aleutian Tern out is inexplicable. (I personally also find it odd that they include a record not yet officially accepted - Pacific Diver. Hardly a ringing endorsement for their own process if even they do not wait for BOURC acceptance. Mind you not as amusing as an entire article in Birdwatch about Red-winged Laughing-thrush potentially being next to be admitted to the BOU list when the population is on the Isle of Man.) Birdboybowley - as far as I know they did not contact the RSPB. They did contact a local vet who is a birder but he did not get the answerphone message until it was too late because he was away in Scotland. Alan - you're making me smile again. Keep it up. Regards Paul [/QUOTE]
