If you are keen on identifying and recording the birds you see, you will find a compresive checklist to be very useful. In recent years major revisions of taxonomic order, new splits and names, have been a challenge to keep up with. The rate of change seems to be settling and hopefully we will see the list remain fairly stable now.
I have compiled a list of all birds seen in Australia and it's island territories, including subspecies. The A5 booklet is 48 pages and includes:-
- Numbering system - useful for cataloguing photos (there are spare numbers where future splits may occur)
- Scientific and Common names - follows IOC v7.2, with some additions from HBW (Birdlife International checklist)
- Current Taxonomic Order - as of July 2017
- IUCN status - International Union for Conservation of Nature (the world's main authority on the conservation status of species)
- Range and Map
- Provision for personal notes and totalling birds seen, room to keep up to date with possible future splits.
Booklet is $12 including postage to anywhere in Australia. Please email us if you would like a copy.
