Chris, et al,
I didn't know there were any rules, or at least since the repeal of
the Observation Recording Standards, Ornithologists Act of 1902 was
repealed in the early 1960s. Now one is allowed to record sightings in
any way you feel and and record, or not record, whatever you feel
like. Some saw this Legislative change as a liberation from draconian
regulations, while others have simply regarded it as simple drop in
standards; the passing of a golden age of certainty.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Hi Keith and others,
I have wondered about that. I've seen free-flying Peach-faced Lovebirds
that are probably breeding. Not that I would tick them what makes them
different from this House Crow? Isn't there an unofficial rule about
having
to be an established population or got here under its own steam in the
case
of vagrants?
Regards,
Chris

What rules are everyone playing by for their lists? There's no way I'm
ticking this bird, it is ship assisted plain and simple. I'd sooner
go to
Featherdale Wildlife Park and tick birds in cages.

Hi Tania,
I flew down from Brisbane to Sydney on the weekend to pick up a few
ticks
including Regent Honeyeaters (about a dozen) in Capertee Valley, my
bogey
bird the Red-whiskered Bulbul (tried on three previous trips but
finally
successful) and ...the House Crow which is quite a nice looking
bird with
its silky grey mantle.
Carl Corden was able to take me straight to the spot at Dee Why and
pointed
out the bird in the trees between the children's fenced playground
and
the
street - exactly where he had seen it back in March!
...even got the photos as proof of having 'been there, done that'
Laurie;-)
Spent the afternoon doing some cliff top seabird watching as well.
Cheers,
Carl Billingham
