From the NSW rarities report this morning it appears that chaos due to the taxonomy update is already happening. There were about 20 sightings of something called Purple-backed Fairywren
- previously a subspecies of Variegated Fairywren. Presumably some Americans have raised it to species status.
A further issue has appeared to have arisen with the last (unannounced) update to eBird for iPhone. In the past if I tapped on a species to add to my list it came to a page for that species
with the number seen left blank. Now it defaults to 1. The problem is that if the observer has already tapped to record 1 or 2 for the species, when the name is tapped it adds 1 to the number tapped which becomes 2 or 3. This does save time if one gets
in to the habit of tapping the name only but it is a major pain in the tushy that eBird:
From some comparison shopping this morning it appears not to affect the android app.
