Error in Pizzey and Knight app?

[John Graff <>]

There's a few photo errors through that app that I've noticed or had pointed out; e.g. first non-breeding Gull-billed Tern image is a Whiskered Tern, the only non-breeding plumage image for White-winged Black Tern is a Whiskered Tern, and I'm fairly sure the first Collared Sparrowhawk image is a goshawk. There's probably others floating around - a lot of photos to curate!

The sound recording of "typical" Masked Owls calls sound like a Barn Owl too

Cheers,

John

and there's another error too in the same app...

a perfectly good Fan-tailed Cuckoo is captioned as a Chestnut-breasted Cuckoo... it's any wonder some birders make false claims with their ID's of Chgestnut-breated Cuckoos!!

wishing everyone on here a safe and very Merry Christmas too!!

cheers,

No surprise there. Lake Barrine must be hundreds of kms too far south for Yellow-legged.

Festive Greetings

Yes Peter - the bird in question is a Pale Yellow Robin race nana.

In the photos in the Pizzey and Knight digital app one, listed as a Yellow-legged Flycatcher, labelled 

           Adult. Lake Barrine. QLD. Peter Nunn 

has orange around the eye and looks very much like the Pale Yellow Robin. 

The other photos of the Yellow Legged Flycatcher do not show the orange around the eye.

 

I checked with Dr Greg Clancy and his comment was that it appeared to be the northern race of the Pale Yellow Robin. 

Comments?

Merry Christmas
