At this point I’m giving up as unable to choose further. It’s hard to pick ten species for Antarctica, I can’t get my head round Oceania, and I’ve had to leave out too many much loved Asian species, including all the pheasants, which are one of my favourite groups. Managed not to include any hornbills either, so no, I can’t do this:)
