Year List Ethics (Poll)

["Tony Keene" <>]

I usually only tick a bird if I'm sure of the species, so if it's questionable 
on sight alone, I like to hear the call too. However, I don't tick solely on 
call (or I'd have Marsh Warbler, Golden Oriole and Noisy Pitta on the life 
list). However, that's just for my list. If it was for a trip report where the 
information could be useful to someone, I'd mention birds that were only heard 
as long as I was reasonably sure of the ID. But then, I've attracted various 
levels of ire for not ticking introduced birds (I've got a separate 'C' list 
for those), which meant that the Little Corella I saw last week in 
Hattah-Kulkyne NP was a lifer for me.
 Cheers,

 Tony
