香港鳥類名錄 Checklist of Hong Kong Bird Record

Thank you Geoff and others. It's always great to see our ever expanding list, and the faster turn around on record approval is a great move and much appreciated.

Just one minor problem here is that as published here "Cat F" (the category which is, perhaps slightly rather unsatisfactorily, both for birds which have been seen in HK but can only be considered escapes eg Budgerigar and birds which have been only claimed for HK, but are considered to be misidentifications, and thus have not been seen in HK) contains five species in other categories now (all A I think).

They are Red-throated Loon, Greater White-fronted Goose, Amur Falcon, Eurasian Oystercatcher, Drongo Cuckoo, Pygmy Wren Babbler and Sulphur-breasted Warbler.

The next bird that'll need to be taken out of F would appear to be Vega Gull.

Just to make it quite clear, as I know Dave realises, NOBODY appreciates more than I the massive amounts of time and effort that volunteers, such as Geoff and many others, put in. I should have said 'discrepancy' rather than 'problem' in the earlier message.

I'd also underline Dave's point about Hawfinch, even though I didn't see it!

And of course, Steppe Eagle!
