No, No!! Keep going with the additions, 700 is looking a little closer with each one 
Any advances on Western Shrike-tit??
One more suggestion for the twitchers list on Tony’s website, how about a column with the title “Bogey Bird”? Every twitcher must have one, they haven’t sen despite numerous attempts! I have two – Masked Owl (have heard them but not seen them) and Franklins Gull (keeps disappearing the day before I get to look for it).
It would be interesting to see what others consider their bogey birds..
Yours in all things “green”

Whoops, yes Hornbill Friarbird should be on the list. Sorry, my error.
If you have already downloaded the list and are happy to retrofit it, here is what to do:
Insert a new row below row 694 (Helmeted Friarbird) and type the following in the first three cells
694.1 / Philemon yorki / Hornbill Friarbird
Tony will put an updated version on the Birders Totals web site soon.
To clarify, Hornbill Friarbird is the ‘helmeted friarbird from Eastern Qld (s. Torres Strait, Cape York to about Clairview/Shoalwater Bay). It is an Australian endemic Within Australia Helmeted Friarbird P. buceroides is now confined to the Northern Territory.
Thanks for the armchair tick, let me know if you find anymore errors, but please not too many, I want to celebrate 750 in the field, not at the computer!

Hello David. I have just downloaded the checklist which is very helpful and thank you for making it available. I was just wondering why the Hornbill Friarbird does not appear on the list. The IOC list seems to have the Hornbill Friarbird (philemon yorki) split from Helmeted Friarbird. It states that it is found in NE Australia so I assume it is the same as the yorki sub-species of the Helmeted Friarbird.

Hi folks,
The checklist available for download on Tony Palliser’s “Birders Totals” web page is not an ‘official’ checklist for Australia yet. It was prepared by me for the “Birders Totals” web page and for BARC. However, since BARC is a committee of Birds (Birdlife) Australia, BARC will not officially adopt this list unless BA endorses it. BARC has therefore recommended that BA consider it. Our recommended approach is not just a new list to replace Christidis & Boles but a new process to have a living checklist instead of a static one, consistent with the rest of the world, while retaining an appropriate guiding roll in the local decisions. It is worth taking a bit of time to ensure that we get it right.
Meanwhile it is easy and fun to calculate your list: http://www.tonypalliser.com/totals.html
Tell us what you think.

Note that version 3.0c (not yet official I guess) also lists all recognised subspecies, so for the first time we may have an “official” Aus ssp list

I like the bogey bird idea. Seeing who needs what could lead to us helping each other with our bird lists
Tony
Rufous Scrub bird for me. I’ve tried about four times, all the way from Adelaide, but always missed the little pests.
Tony
Dave, understandably, has a couple of mind-bogglers. For me it’s Carpentarian Grasswren & Ground Parrot!
Bob Cook
Only two John – that is very good!F or a long time my list included Chestnut Rail and Fernwren – now I think it is White-throated Grasswren and Buff-breasted Button-quail
