Chlidonias goes to Asia, 2009

here are the lists of birds and mammals seen by me during the course of my trip. I'll just link to the bird-list I've posted on another site because its quite long. For non-birders the list is what is known as a "year list" which is probably a pretty self-explanatory title, but if not then its a list of bird species seen within the calendar year (1 January to 31 December). The birds are naturally listed in the order in which they are seen, and because its a year list it also includes the birds I saw in NZ before the trip. The total for the Asian trip was 469 species seen and identified (I'm pretty strict with what I count: it has to be seen well enough to be definitely identified -- no "good enough" type sightings for me!). People of a mathematical persuasion may note that the numbers don't appear to add up properly (the list is currently 533 species long but 69 of those were seen before the trip, and 533 minus 69 does not equal 469) and that's because a few of the birds seen on the trip I had seen already in NZ earlier in the year. Also of course, each species is only counted once, so the number put down for Sumatra for example aren't all the species I saw in Sumatra, just the ones that hadn't already been seen elsewhere.

I hope that's all clear.
