In this respect, there is no difference between your interesting buttonquail record and the Chinese Bulbuls I see every winter's day.   The best place for your buttonquail record, which is very interesting, is in the Excel file for all records of non-rarities, which is available on the website. These records will then be used in preparation of the Systematic List in the HKBR.   Incidentally, this file has recently been updated to be more user friendly, and now includes the latest HK List with recent additions.   Regards,   Geoff Logged Captain Guest Re: Rare bird near Tung Tze (Shuen Wan) sq « Reply #4 on: Jan 25th, 2004, 11:38pm » Quote Modify Remove OK. OK. The principle behind is understood. But just some comments on the survey itself.     It is ture to consider all bird records if the survey is aimed at finding out the bird diversity of a square. More bird records are no harm to the survey, even through they are bulbuls   It is incorrect to consider bird records outside the study time if it is a quantitative survey, esp if we want to study the long term trend, and compare the abundance among squares.   So, is the Winter Bird Atlas survey a quantitative survey? Pls don't mind I asked this question as I missed the briefying in the beginning of this survey.
