But what if you see your Oz-list as a competition that you will never win? (
I can't imagine you will ever beat the top-lister)
Sounds like a lot of stress, especially after your recent (expensive) trips
to WA.
Why not change your goals and save up and take an overseas holiday?
I still enjoy my new sightings wherever I am (...and I often get the
pleasure of finding my own birds!).

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)
