Do they specify where exactly? (still waiting for mine!) Obviously (if
you
are inclined) you can "tick" one from one of those areas but not (if you
are
honourable!) one from elsewhere - the key is obviously to go back to the
spot you saw them 10 years (or whatever the magic period is) later and
see
if they are still there :-)

Steve,
My copy of Christidis & Boles (2008) arrived in the mail yesterday.
The
Helmeted Guineafowl is included in their main list, based on evidence
that
this species has persisted and bred at several locations in northern
Qld.

Thanks everyone for the comments. What I really need to know is, if it
is a wild population, can I put it on my list?
My Simpson and Day Field Guide (2004) says that the Helmeted
Guineafowl
is not yet included on "The Official Australian List". My Morcombe's
says something similar.
Does anyone know what "Official Australian List" are they referring
to?

I think the "rules" are that they have to have formed a
self-sustaining
population in the wild for some minimum number of years. Thus some
populations may be "tickable" and others are not, which makes it
rather
hard!

I saw a group (3-4) of Helmeted Guineafowl over the Christmas
break,
feeding on the side of the (South Western) highway just north
of
Manjimup WA (close to Augusta).
Does anyone know the status of this bird in Australia? Can I
put
it on
my list?
