IOC Oceania

The IOC Oceania list uses a subset of species from the complete world taxonomy maintained by the IOC and which is updated regularly at www.worldbirdnames.org. As from 1 January 2018, this is exactly the same taxonomy used for the official BOU British List.

The geographical limits of this list include Australasia, Antarctica and associated Pacific Islands.
