Email John Graff (wasightings@birdlife.org.au) with details of your sightings.
The more unusual or rare sightings are highlighted in red and may be included in the WA Bird Notes Issue 179 (September 2021). These sightings may require some notes and/or photographs supporting the sightings to be published in WABN. Records highlighted in bold red are the most unusual sightings. Sightings of immediate interest to other birders can also be copied to the birdswa email list and the birding-aus email list or posted to the Birding in Western Australia Facebook group if you are on Facebook. The taxonomy used on this webpage is based on the International Ornithological Congress (IOC) list. You are welcome to email JPG photographs of Western Australian birds to be identified.
Please note: Although due care is taken to
assess records for veracity before publication on this page, it is
recommended that those wishing to cite records refer to the relevant
edition of WA Bird Notes (WABN) or contact the records officer before
citing.
