Hi folks,
Not knowing how to correspond with Eremaea I wonder if someone on this list can explain the following sighting on the South and Central Qld list for last week.
It was submitted by an Ed Fraser and referred to an AUSTRALIAN Kite and a location of Fraser 1 degree cell.
Both pieces of information are rather useless for anyone wanting to follow the sighting up.

However, if you select Australia (English) in the Common Names menu choice on Eremaea (i.e. instead of Clements or one of the other options) and search for Eastern Koel, the common name recommended by Christidis and Boles and used by Birdlife Australia and used in the latest version of the Pizzey and Knight field guide you will not find it. You need to look for the Clements (English) common name Australian Koel.
Perhaps not so pleasing to everyone?

Hi John. Eremaea is based on Clements taxonomy which uses the name “Australian Kite” for Elanus axillarus and reserves “Black-shouldered Kite” for Elanus caeruleus. If you click on “full list” you will see a map which shows the location. Admittedly there could have been more information in the text. Cheers Steve Murray
