Hi Peter,
I cc'd this to Tony Palliser (BARC) and Roger McGovern (NSW ORAC).
BARC = Birds Australia Rarities Committee; here you can find the review list,
the results and further information:
http://www.tonypalliser.com/barc/barc-home.html
NSW ORAC = NSW Ornithological Records Appraisal Committee; NSW ORAC (and also
the other state committees) deal with more local rarities. Current NSW ORAC
review list:
NSW ORNITHOLOGIAL RECORDS APPRAISAL COMMITTEE (ORAC)
REVIEW LIST
(Revised February 23, 2013)
The following list comprises birds that are considered rare in NSW based on
reported observations over a preceding ten year period to a maximum average of
1.5 records per year. NSW ORAC encourages anyone sighting these species to take
comprehensive notes, photographs where possible and to supply substantiation by
other observers where appropriate. Details of the sighting should be forwarded
to the Secretary of NSW ORAC by way of an Unusual Record Report (URR) Form
available electronically from the Secretary, Roger McGovern, at
roglou_at_bigpond.net.au.
This list does not include any of those species on the Birdlife Australia
Rarities Committee (BARC) Review List. In order to maintain consistency with
the BARC Review List, the NSW ORAC Review List is based on the IOC taxonomy.
