Mistakenly-recorded Species, Spain.

After reading the post about Mistakenly-recorded Species, particularly the Great Grey / Iberian Grey Shrike I checked my list and find that I have Southern Grey Shrike in my lists so I tried to change it and find that Iberian Grey Shrike is not an option in the list. Just wanted to check if I am missing something or not. Thanks.

Hi Mick - that's because your Spain list is using the SEO checklist, which currently only has Southern Grey Shrike listed - see details, the list, and a link to the original at  bubo.org/sociedad-espanola-de-ornitologi...anish-bird-list.html . 

Thanks Andy. For future reference which checklist is best and can I change it on lists in use or do I need to completely start from scratch.

The SEO checklist is the only one currently enabled for Spain, so you need to use that. In general, we're moving more towards standardising on IOC however.

In cases where there's more than one checklist option available for a place, you can copy one list across to another. On 'Create New List' you'll see towards the bottom there's a 'copy from existing list' option, for this purpose.

Thanks Andy, look forward to doing the tranfer when it becomes possible.
