Running out of species

[Mark Stanley <>]

Thanks Sue!

This is actually a mistake - I work off a bird list based on the original HBW order and translated it to IOC which folk are more familiar with. It is actually Little Wattlebird rather than Western which is on my list. Thanks for pointing it out - something to keep me occupied during lockdown, sorting such anomalies out!

Regards

Mark

Subject: [Birding-Aus] Running out of species

I've been attempting to add a new species every day this year and the latest Melbourne 5 Km lockdown is proving a challenge.  I'm based in Prahran so limited to roughly from Royal Botanic Gardens to Elwood. Laughing Kookaburra and Silvereye are my last realistic options. I would then still need 4 more to get me to hopefully an easing of restrictions after next Tuesday. Longer shots are a Boobook, Goldfinch (Westgate Pk - is just outside my range) , Grey Shrikethrush (Royal Park is also a bit far) and perhaps scoping a Little Penguin at St Kilda Pier.  

I can't see any other obvious gaps in my list below but would welcome any suggestions:
