    With that head pattern, I would be thinking probably a Rufous-winged Fulvetta.

    Would you personally tick, given a highly unlikely alternative ID?

    Surely everyone ticks some species on range, unless you know every possible confusion species worldwide and rule them out then this is what you are doing. If you have Dunnock on your list, did you rule out Japanese Accentor, or did you rely on the fact that someone has done the work and said...

    How many cuckoos have you seen?

    Chestnut-bellied Monarch

    Currently birds from Santa Ana are considered to be the subspecies ugiensis, however, it is likely that these birds are a separate subspecies. Whilst both the birds from Ugi and Santa Ana are all black, I understand that DNA has revealed that they evolved separately from the Chestnut-bellied...

    Bannerman’s Shearwater and Matsudaira’s Storm-Petrel

    I have added to the gallery photos of these two species. Should be some more new opus species to come as I work through photos from a trip from New Zealand to Japan by sea.

    Two people break 10,000 species, and on the same day? Can it be?
