Nope, no good for your Oz list unless you see it in Oz territory. !!
That's why , for instance, I can't count the Manx Shearwaters I used to
see on the north coast of Kent when I was ( considerably) younger.

Hi Tony,
But what if you see it in the 'flesh' in a country other than Australia?
I'm not sure if that would count for you either.....it's a real tough
race
(....if you count yourself as a competitor)

Come on you lot, you're having a lend of yourselves. To tick a bird
you've got to be in the physical presence of the live bird and seeing it
either with your naked eye or through bins or scope. I realise that
after seeing a bird we then try for photos of it and that these photos
can be used for later confirmation of ID purposes.
I have no problem with this provided we genuinely saw the bird prior to
taking a picture.
For me nothing else satisfies the concept of "seeing" the bird -
although a view of the bird through a camera viewfinder probably just
scrapes in.
In any case, let's get a life eh ?

Hi Everyone,
Just last week I was chatting to my fiance's dad (he lives in Bray,
Ireland) and he showed me a Wood Pigeon through their kitchen window.
We were using Skype and a web cam, and I could see it very clearly.
Do I tick it?
Cheers,
Beth Symonds
