NB: I have moved the five subspecies for which the PT Rarities Ctee accepts records to the TOP of the file.

Lists for the Azores islands and for the Madeira islands are usually handled separately from Mainland Portugal by SPEA/BirdLife, but we can look into that some other time perhaps.
So, do get on with the lists

Well in that case our existing feature list is a winter Starling roost!I've a feature list like a train of Gannets passing through our shores in Spring!

We haven't had too much time to add new features recently but do have lots of good ideas. So we'd be delighted to hear yours which will help us prioritise future development.

I made a start at converting your Portugal base list for BUBO, but could I ask you to check a few queries for us please? There are a number of species present in both the main list and in the rarity list, i.e.
Anthus cervinus
Anthus petrosus
Apus caffer
Branta bernicla
Fulica cristata
Gavia immer
Gavia stellata
Larus argentatus
Larus sabini
Oceanodroma castro
Phalaropus lobatus
Porzana pusilla
Pterocles alchata
Sterna dougallii
For these, could you clarify whether they should be flagged as rare or not? (If we do flag them as rare, then listers will need to enter a date and location).
The other awkward job for me to do then is to merge the two lists in such a way that they are ordered taxonomically (e.g. merge the rare ducks appropriately in amongst the common ducks).
Thanks
Andy

Hi
Just to help a litle, all the species are rarities except Oceanodroma castro this species is a scarce breeder but not a true rarity, the status of Pterocles alchata is also not clear to me, is a very rare breeder but...
Also, please don't forget the C category species:
Acridotheres cristatellus
Estrilda astrild
Amandava amandava
Ploceus melanocephalus
Euplectes afer
Psittacula krameri
Lonchura malacca

It looks like I should probably flag all of those as rare - it just means that Portugal listers will have to provide a date and location for those species.
Good point about the introduced species. Common Waxbill is on the SPEA list, but the others are not. So, should we include them or not? I suggest that I add them as "pending" species for now, which means they are not on the official base-list but we think they probably will be soon. Does that sound like a reasonable solution?
Thanks again
Andy
