Hang on Laurie – If a vagrant turns up and no-one twitches it, how might we know that it was ever there ??
On your second point concerning BARC acceptances ,can those people just returning from Christmas and Cocos add all those exciting new birds to their Oz lists straight away without waiting for the submissions to be made to BARC and for the tedious assessment process to take place ?( I say tedious because it often takes a long time for a determination). Or might it be OK for them to add them to their lists because in part those people make up the BARC committee and know most of their ultimate submissions will be accepted? My bet is that they have added them already ( as would I if I were among them).
Hey ! I just checked TP’s Totals and there they are !! All added on with great glee. Hah!, just as I suspected.
