    Paul's 2024 World List

    I am very conscious that I am unable to judge regional endemics and specialities. I have been to most localities once only - other than in a Western Palearctic context where there is very limited biodiversity and endemism in any event - so it is interesting beginning to understand some of these...

    If I purchased my wife a present, having entered a "no presents binding bilateral agreement" in 1993, which has been observed for 31 years, after a trip to Thailand, it would cause a whole heap of unmerited suspicion! Krabi - 15th March 679 - Green-backed Flycatcher 680 - White-bellied Munia...

    An interesting question. A stockcheck tonight or tomorrow with eBird will probably suggest 550 trip list out of a realistic 585 species maybe on our itinerary as a maximum. I will report back. We did not get cheap trip ticks out of wildfowl and waders as no lifers there for us on our itinerary...

    So today I had 8 lifers and some additional trip ticks/year ticks but real highlights for me were Spotted Wood Owl, River Lapwing, Brown-winged Kingfisher and more Mangrove Pitta action. Late again - especially as I was following the football live text before it was light... - so usual...
