I wonder why the draft list does not include the Spotted Whistling Duck Dendrocygna guttata, considering that this species was accepted by BARC in December 2000; see http://users.bigpond.net.au/palliser/barc/sub319.html ?

But there's nothing new in this list!!! (which is after all just a draft
list anyhow - not the new official Australian "checklist").

It's just based on Christidis & Boles (1994) with updates from:

(1) All species accepted by the Birds Australia Rarities Committee
(BARC) since 1994
(2) Species splits included in Volume 5 of HANZAB
(3) New albatross taxonomy

Plenty to muse over, but it just brings together a few of the post
C&B(94) fiddling in one handy unofficial document  :-)
