I have a similar dilemma as I found the only specimen of the Vanuatu Petrel
ever found in Australia and it constitutes the only record for Australia so
can I tick it? It was found dead on the roadside north of Port Macquarie.
The only Blue Petrel that I have seen was dead on a beach so it is,
similarly, not generally considered tickable. It doesn't really bother me
as I am not a lister and although I enjoy seeing new species of birds I
don't really know what my life total is.

G’day Carl
That depends on what rules you have established for your patch list. Bear
in mind, that list rules, like national constitutions, can have amendments.

I have a guest for the night, a young Tawny Frogmouth which was hit by a
car on the road outside the house. I have rung WIRES, and they are trying
to get here tonight, otherwise, if it lasts the night, I will take it to
the vet in the morning. It is the first TF I have seen on my local patch,
but have a bit of a moral dilemma as to whether I can tick him.
