Or at least dead specimens found on Barb wire fences… From memory, no records for 50 years is required before a species is considered extinct.

We didn’t get the bonus owl talk in Melbourne. I don’t think the Night Parrot was “previously thought to be extinct”, just very hard to find. Peter Shute Sent from my iPad

Agreed – having attended the not-free-but-worth-every-dollar event in Melbourne earlier this year, don’t miss this if you get the chance… —–Original Message—– Rod Martin Sent: Tuesday, 16 June 2015 8:43 AM Hello everyone Fairfield City Council, NSW, has been fortunate enough to lure John Young to present a talk on Australian Owls and rediscovering the night parrot, an elusive bird which was previously thought to be extinct.
