John is absolutely right, it's up to you, and as the person who still holds the stock of 600 Club badges, I don't ask you to prove you've seen 600 species, I believe you. I assume you have your own principles and follow them honourably. If you tell me you've seen 6oo species I send you a badge.

(I secretly know that if you are telling a barefaced lie and you didn't see some of them at all, your badge will go rusty, or your hat will blow into the sea with your badge on it...)

However for anyone who hasn't read all this many times before, birders can enter their totals on Tony Palliser's web page. He says:








     Home

    Birders Totals

     Following Christidis & Boles 2008 Taxonomy

A fun page devoted to those that have seen 600 or more bird species within Australia and its Territories including: Christmas, Heard, Lord Howe, Macquarie and Norfolk Islands but not Antarctica. (For more information see Christidis & Boles 2008).

If you wish your total to be added simply email your tally to To be fair and consistent for the purposes of maintaining this list a few basic rules shall apply:

     1.All species counted should be seen alive and in the wild
     2.Geography includes Mainland Australia, its Territories
     or anywhere within the 200 NM limit (excluding Antarctica).
     3.Taxonomy should follow Christidis & Boles 2008 .
     4.Submissions should be honest, accurate and dated.



A very helpful person has offered to take the badges over from me, but they are too heavy to post so the changeover will have to wait until I am going to Victoria and can carry them.
