Mike, why I don't count the Crow in Oz is
because.... I've only seen it in Asia.
Perhaps you count the Crow mostly because it's
one more toward your goal. However, in this instance I agree, as argued
recently on b~aus in the context of various similar records of gulls,
wagtails and others.
Even so, this is tantamount to opening
Pandora's Box because a lot of Asian birds will eventually be recorded here as
valid additions if we disregard the likelihood of them being sustained by humans
en route.
In fact I can see birders worldwide following
the shipping forecasts and port arrival schedules to increase their lists.
This will be a modern variant of seawatching.
