The IOC 3.3 list is now available at worldbirdnames.org. The only obvious change for Aussies is that Hooded Plover/Dotterel is now Thinornis cucullatus.
I have updated the C&B comparison page at http://birdlifephotography.org.au/photogallery/taxonomic-changes to reflect this.
Incidentally I have for my own interest been working on adding IOC 3.3 subspecies to the BARC 2.0 list. I have not added them for vagrants and for some waders and pelagic birds as the IOC list is unclear, but I am happy to send a copy to anyone who wants it

Why strange? I think this makes sense: “Aligns IOC with H&M, BLI, HBW, Clements; reduces confusion with the eastern race of Eurasian Curlew”

Another minor change is Eastern Curlew becomes “Far Eastern Curlew”. Strange. Steve Murray
