Additions to the IOC Western Palearctic list
As part of the Portuguese review of Category C birds, it was concluded that Chestnut Munia was added incorrectly and was never self-sustaining. It has therefore been removed from the WP list.
Many thanks to the Bubo guys for their speedy updates again.

Two Category C species have been removed following the publication of the new official German List: Swan Goose and Yellow-headed Amazon.
Steppe Grey Shrike is also removed following the IOC decision to 'lump' this form within Great Grey Shrike.
Thanks to the Bubo guys for the usual speedy updates.
Cheers, Graeme Joynt

Red-masked Parakeet Psittacara erythrogenys
Red-whiskered Bulbul Pycnonotus jocosus
Orange-cheeked Waxbill Estrilda melpoda
Black-rumped Waxbill Estrilda troglodytes
The first 3 are best found in the Valencia area and the last in Barcelona and Malaga.
The latest IOC update (9.2) added Stejneger's Scoter to the WP list as a split but removed Barbary Falcon, which is now lumped with Peregrine.
Thanks to the BUBO guys for the quick updates.

Although African has been suspected it’s not been proven and it has been split by the IOC.

American Royal is the only species on the British list, although African crested has been suspected but not proved.

As there has only been 2 identified American Royal terns and only one of which was twitchable rendering all other records as Royal sp.
At least the name in the list should be changed to American Royal surely?

I know this won’t make a lot of difference as when people lost Fea’s many seemed to tick Black capped petrel instead!

Personally I don't really care what others keep on their list. Who are they kidding anyway?
I only care what I put on my list, and BUBO is absolutely superb for recording what I have seen.
