Pictures, images. People still call them photos even though they are digital, yet in the film age I was using slide film, and I still call my images slides.

finally got it then. Well done! They are pretty cool birds, all hunkering down and glowering as they do.

I was looking through some photos on my external drive over the weekend, and I came across a photo I took of a wild Nankeen Night Heron at Melbourne Zoo back in 2011!! This was before I got into birding, and I clearly had no idea what I was seeing - I don't even remember the sighting, so 2014's entry record in my bird guide still stands.

Since I distinctly recall the sightings of the following birds from a 2009 trip to Darwin (and still have the photos), I have recorded them in my guide: Crimson Finch, White-bellied Sea Eagle, Comb-crested Jacana, Jabiru and Plumed Whistling Duck.
 
Birds
598. Northern Greenbul
599. Parrot-billed Sparrow

Reptiles
30. Tree Gecko (Hemidactylus platycephalus)

:p

I know!

The funny thing is, eBird already says I'm on 605 birds for the year, and I'm not sure where the discrepancy is.

:p

Hix
 
I've never used eBird but discrepancies do seem par for the course with it.
 
eBird will count regional uncountable birds (escapees, non-established populations, etc.)
 
I haven't seen escapees this year, otherwise I'm counting everything I can identify.

:p

600. Black-bellied Glossy Starling

:p :p :p

Hix
 
Well done Hix!!!!!!!
I'm usually not in favour of using too many exclamation marks but that's quite the achievement!!!
 
And I still have a few thousand images left to sort through, though I don't think I'll find much more.

:p

Below is the full 2014 Big Year Mammal List. There is a good worldwide spread: from Europe and North America where most Zoochatters are; from Central America thanks to Maguari; from Africa mostly thanks to Hix and Maguari; from Madagascar thanks to lintworm; from Asia thanks to Chlidonias; and from Australia mostly thanks to Hix and zooboy28.

Total number of species is 332.

I'm not doing the bird list because it would be too time-consuming, nor herptiles simply because they are less recognisable/more obscure than mammal species.
