I take Harveys point about putting in a
comma but I feel he has missed my point. In the species I have noted, the Black
Honeyeater should ONLY
be listed as a vagrant, it is NOT a rare bird. In this case I don’t
think we need the word “rare” to describe it, “vagrant”
gives a more than adequate description. As I said, can anyone show me a listing
anywhere for a common, vagrant? If, for example, we had a Night Parrot suddenly
turn up in Canberra, then I would be prepared to accept a definition of “rare,
vagrant”. I know there are also variations on what is considered rare –
birds of preys versus honeyeaters for example – the term is relative.
This could be an interesting topic…..!!
