Hello All

i think Helios got a new specie for OUPS here

http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/311347/limit/recent

the shot is super.

 

[IanF]

It's not new but it's a better one than was already in place.

 

[ammadoux]

LOL it did not give the results i am getting now when i checked OUPS, that why i though it was new. a real beautiful Syliva warbler.

 

[KC Foggin]

Hi Dulce! I didn't see it prior but it probably is a case of the wrong/misspelled scientific name and that's why you don't get results when you click on Opus.

 

[ammadoux]

LOL Helwa KC then i guess it is a second false alarm.

i was stunned to know that there is a Sylvia warbler that i never heard of, learn new everyday.

 

[KC Foggin]

Not really as it serves a purpose for vigilant members like you to notify us when this happens

And there's actually a section here in Opus to do that

thanks i did not notice this, can't wait for the summer vacation so i can get more time to comb the forum very well.

 

[IanF]

Yes it was the scientific name. The gallery entry carried the subspecies as well so I created a redirect page so the link would work.

The more eyes the better when looking for new species :t:

 

[ammadoux]

LOL this time i got you a stunning beauty.

i must migrate to New Delhi.

 

[delia todd]

Indeed it is a beautiful bird Dulce.

It's a Rufous Sibia; a slight mis-spelling in the scientific name is the reason you couldn't reach it.

I'll go and correct it now.

Thanks

Hi, Mods! :hi:

I doubt the Elegant Tit is a newbie for Opus (I suppose it has an altentative name that I don't know) but I say it here just in case. It's a rarity in this gallery and it's worthy to have it well named to link correctly to Opus:

http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=29338

http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=35112

(was this maybe a juvie?)

http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=55149

And this others have the species starting with capital letters, so it doesn't link anyway to Opus:

http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=308402

http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/315875/limit/recent

I was suggested to do this if I find mistakes or inaccuracies, so here I am!

Hope this helps! o

Cheers everybody!!! B

Edit: I've just done a more convenient reseach in the gallery and I couldn't find more pictures, but in the web I found the scientific name "Periparus elegans"... just can't believe it can be a new species to Opus!!! :eek!:

Hi all

there is a shot for Sharp-tailed Tyrant

http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/315871/limit/recent

guess it makes a lovely addition to the article about it in OUPS.

thanks

Thanks for spotting this Marian.

It appears that Elegant Tit has had 3 scientific names:

Parus elegans
Periparus elegans
Pardaliparus elegans

I'll make a start on trying to sort this later - thanks for the links I've corrected the two that have been capitalised.

And what about this? Sounds as if it really is new to Opus! o
