My brother-in-law is a bird guide in South Africa. He's taking part in
an online panel discussion organised by Birding SA to discuss whether
"heard only" birds should be included in "lifer" type lists. In the
interest of being informed, he asked me if there was a consensus in
Australia around this question. Clearly, bird surveying relies heavily
on heard birds, but this was more of a listing type question. I heard
the "greater spotted dodo", but didn't want to disturb, so can still
count it on my list....
What do people who keep serious lists here in Canberra think?
thanks,
Peter Miller
