The new Clements keeps Greater and Lesser Sooty Owl separate.
When the new Christides & Boles arrives you may have to decide which

I think the comment is valid, there seems to be an 'anti-lumping'
sentiment amongst twitchers and example of this was put quite
forcefully no this list not so long ago (where lumpers were somehow
likened to paedophiles, quite offensive really).
As I have said before, many birders are keen to accept splits to
increase their own list, but ignore lumps which are equally as valid.
Such an example of this is the lumping of sooty and lesser sooty owl.
