The tickability would very much depend on varying factors such as, are
the bird lifers and the rate one was paying the guide, I suppose :-)

Hi Gang,
As someone who just posted a report with 2 - sightings, I am
assuming I am partly to blame for the question.
Yellow-throated Hanging Parrot flying at 400 miles an hour and
identifiable
by call/options and paid guide only, but not really seen clearly is in
my
book an un-tickable sighting. Even to the surprise of the guide...
Black-thighed Falconet seen at 2 km's through Bino's and even the
Guide was
uncertain.... even when all other options exhausted, I declare an
un-tickable sighting also.
My bird list, My rules!
Cheers.

Can anyone explain to me what an untickable sighting is? As an avid
birdwatcher of nine years,I have recently started my life list(to
those of
you who are feeling a little faint,sorry).I have heard this term used
a few
times now and am a little confused.I assume (never a good idea); it to
be a
bird that you are 99% sure of but not positive of.Surely this is a
probable
sighting,as if you know what species it is,it is tickable.I am not
trying to
be pedantic,but genuinely interested.Happy birding,Mark.
