Birders Totals
A fun page devoted to those that have seen 600 or more bird species within
Australia and its Territories including: Christmas, Heard, Lord Howe, Macquarie
and Norfolk Islands but not Antarctica. .
If you wish your total to be added simply email your tally to
tony@studio49.com.au To be fair and consistent
for the purposes of maintaining this list a few basic rules shall apply:
1.All species counted should be seen alive and in the wild
2.Geography includes Mainland Australia, its Territories
or anywhere within the 200 NM limit (excluding Antarctica).
3.Taxonomy should follow IOC Taxonomy and recommended bird names within.
4.Submissions should be honest, accurate and dated.
To add a little more interest I have included a column so that
folk can also keep a tally of each others mainland totals. Mainland
Australia does not include the external territories of Norfolk Island,
Christmas Island or the Cocos Islands and for the purposes of this list
does not include Macquarie Island or Lord Howe Island but does include
Tasmania, Ashmore Reef , Torres Strait Islands and other areas within the 200NM
limit.
The table that follows updates Australian taxonomy to the more
globally recognized IOC taxonomy. For more information visit
http://www.worldbirdnames.org/ A copy of the
IOC Australian Checklist. in
microsoft xls format Thanks to the Margaret Cameron and Andrew Isles a
free badge is available once you reach 600 species. To receive one
