ZooChat Big Year 2016

The Southern Giraffes were mine - I listed them as just G. camelopardalis and then got roasted for not splitting them yet splitting kudu - all HMW's fault!

The relevant posts are #391 and #395.

okay I've added that in. (But all the giraffes are still G. camelopardalis for this list - people can read whatever they like into my treatment of the hooved splits...)

I added in Beisa, and the above three. Is the Red-tailed Monkey Cercopithecus ascanius? It would make my job easier if you'd give the scientific names as well.

That's the one, subspecies schmidti, to be exact

I just thought I'd post that my year list has increased by one because of splits in the new Checklist of Birds of the World Passerines, as last year I saw the White-naped Honeyeater and the newly split Gilbert's Honeyeater. Whilst I don't religiously follow any particular list, this is one that I had been keeping an eye on to accept if it was added to HBW, which it has.
