Hi Tony,
Thanks for your answer and work on this. I think you have made
a little goof though. I know some people get emotional about rare
bird reports. I strongly suspect you meant to write "insight"
rather than "incite" (my highlight below).

Papuan Harrier
Andrew, Well that's easy to
answer "there are no confirmed records for Australia or any of
it's Territories" BARC has received several submissions
claiming Papuan Harrier but they were proved to be Swamp Harrier.
Many (understandably) do not realise just how much Swamp Harrier can vary
and present day field guides do little to assist. For a little more
incite here is a link to the most recent BARC
review.

Hi
folks A quick question that may have a very simple answer. Why is
the Papuan Harrier not mentioned at all in the New
Atlas? Andrew
