Hi Tony,
Sorry for the late entry but I was away and only now trying to sort through Birding-Aus stuff.
This may be old news BUT…
Thick-billed Grasswren:
According to the Subspecies list V3 of IOC, A.t.modestus (Mt Lyndhurst version) is the only one split off as A.modestus and retains Thick-billed. A.textilis is now renamed to Western and A.t.myall (the Iron Knob, SA version) is a subspecies of textilis and is also now Western – So you don’t need to go to Monkey Mia to see Western as we have them right here in SA!! TICK!
PS. I have been having fun with my new found freedom away from C&B…. Albatross galore!!
5 new ones for OZ and many more world wide as I scan through the 33929 lines of Subspecies info….
Have a great year!
Steve

Aaaaarrggghh ! Everyone tells me this is easy at Monkey Mia carpark, but it didn’t show when I looked for it for a couple of hours !!! This could have been an armchair tick for me if it had. Bugger, now I’ve got to go back again. Guess I needed an excuse anyway, and I could go for the hartogi wren as well. Think I’ll wait for some cooler weather though. Thanks for the heads up Phil.
