I am new to this list, although did post once or twice several years ago.

I have been a birdwatcher for years, but am just starting to take it a bit more seriously. My applications for COG and Birdlife Australia are in the mail ;)

I've also decided to focus on local birds for a change. Normally I just bird watch opportunistically while travelling. Despite having lists dating from 1992, today felt like my first day as a twitcher, because I went out and recorded 41 species on by bike doing a lap of Lake Burley Griffin (LBG) as the start of a list to see how many ACT birds I can see this year.

Now to my question. I saw several of what appeared to be Greylag Geese on LBG. They don't appear in birdata.com.au on LBG, and are absent from the Wilson/COG, 1999 list, although the later includes Domestic Goose as an 'unusual bird'. I am wondering if/how local birders record these geese?

Also, I have been unable to find an ACT check list on birdlife.org.au despite a link from the COG site to birdlife.org.au for the Christidis & Boles (2008) list. Where can I get a copy of the Christidis & Boles (2008) list? And/or can I access and up-to-the-minute official list of birds that have been seen in the ACT?
