I notice that the IOC (as of June 9th) is considering the split of Purple-backed Fairywren (Malurus assimilis) from Variegated Fairywren (Malurus lamberti). I would assume that ‘dulcis’ and ‘rogersi’ and ‘bernieri’ would be part of ‘assimilis’? I am a little surprised. I thought that ‘dulcis’ and ‘rogersi’ were the very different ones, and I . . . → Read More: Purple-backed Fairywren As an aside, if anyone is visiting Doi Inthanon (the highest mountain and great birding), could you please contact me in advance. Several years ago on a trip with Phil Maher I bought a vest (black mess, about 20 pockets, etc) at the store at the top for AU$15. Brilliant. But it is now deteriorating . . . → Read More: Chiang Mai birding trip Hi Have been asked by a local environment group who do regular bird walks at a local wetland if I can recommend a cheap scope/tripod. Budget around $5-600. www.ozscopes.com.au/spotting-scope?dir=asc&order=price appear to have quite a few possibilities but has anyone any experience?

I can understand the territorial calls only being given by males . . . → Read More: Rose-crowned Fruit-dove calls? Hi all, I hope someone can help me with this as I couldn’t find anything online and I don’t have access to appropriate literature atm. Do the calls of male Rose-crowned Fruit-dove differ from those of the females or are they more or less the same? Many thanks, Falk — Falk Wicker 14 Edward Street . . . → Read More: Rose-crowned Fruit-dove calls? Has a report been lodged with Birdline? There’s nothing there as at midday 13 June?
