Now that the Italian Sparrow in Devon has been proven to be a hybrid can it be removed from the BOU British List. If we are using BOU rules.

Would it be possible to have a pending category. So may the rank list might read Mr Fred Blogs 530 (+ 2 pending). What do you think.

Hi Richard. When/where was the hybrid identification news released please? The only findings from the testing conducted by Martin Collinson's team that I have heard about was that a mainland Italy origin had been ruled out but work was ongoing re a Mediterranean Island origin. A particular verdict seems likely but I thought the jury was still out?
