I disagree Carl. It has a better chance of survival being "rediscovered" in my
view.
John's discovery is practically the same as finding a new bird species.
Perhaps worthy of a rename perhaps Pezoporus Youngi?
Certainly one of the greatest birding endeavours we'll ever see in this country.
Another that springs to mind (outside of Australia) is the work done on the
Tooth-billed Pigeon (Little Dodo) in Samoa.
Happy birding.
Cheers,
Charles Hunter
