Out of curiosity I just looked up what some of the birding taxonomies are calling “Australasia”. What a mess! – thought some of you with interests in birding the Australasia region might be interested. So this begs the question for us birders what constitutes Australasia exactly? I think I have this right?

I like Denis Lepage’s Avibasetilt, you can use Ebird, Clements, IOC, Howard & Moore, Sibley & Monroe etc and get 1632, 2037, 1679, 1587, 1636 ‘lifers’! Plenty of scope…..
