This is an interesting set of birds. I presume that Muscovies have yet to establish properly in the wild while Barbary Doves and Galahs seem definitely to have...

What you are all suggesting is a system just like the BOURC have, where all species are assigned to a category of occurrence. George Watola has a copy of the...

I stopped at Matata Lagoon on my way back from Gisborne yesterday. The devastation is heartbreaking. The western half is significantly silted and strewn with...
Hi all For the purposes of a NZ list, it seems to me that virtually anything that has occurred here is fair game, so to speak. How they got here, and semantics...

Regarding introduced species, a general rule of thumb in Europe seems to be if an introduced population consists of at least a hundred breeding pairs, and it...
Hi All, Sorry for any cross posting. Since Lesser Crested Tern and Sandwich Tern have reasonably cosmopolitan distributions throughout the world, we thought...

Not quite at Miranda, but just up the road at Kaiaua this morning was a small, colour-banded tern (R/M). Unlike any Little Tern I've seen, and with a...

Yep, I'm a Wingspan supporter too. Just a little uncomfortable with benefits to a $70 million industry being the motivation for action here. It's not the...
