Good points to make, Mark, and I suspect that many on the list would not be aware of this, so thanks for the clarification.

But ... do you or anyone else know what's happening with the BA/C&B list update? They've been saying for years that it will be ready pretty soon.

Cheers - David

You are right Philip but unfortunately that species is, I think, only found in Asia. What we have is the Australian Reed-Warbler, Acrocephalus australis. Similarly we have the Australian Pipit, Anthus austalis, not Richard?s Pipit which is also a South-east Asian species. That is what my book and that of Schodde and Mason plus a couple of authoritative overseas world checklists say. It is a common mistake that most birders do not realize has been corrected. There are others but I won?t go into them here.
 
Cheers,

Well if you've got it, flaunt it. They ain't called "clamorous" for nothing.
