Re: Obviously incorrect reports on eBird
https://ebird.org/checklist/S59170214 Tiritiri Matangi list that's almost certainly not just one location, as Scaup and Spotted Shag have never been reported there in recent history.

Made more suspect by the fact that they recorded 1 variable oystercatcher despite there being two in one photo
Same with Takahe...

Couple of things.
1) has Little Black Shags as Pied Shags (I've reported that already)
2) The checklist has been put an incidental, but by looking at how many species they've got on there and it included photos, it seems like this shouldn't be the case. Looks like a complete checklist to me.
Could someone check this please?

Re: Obviously incorrect reports on eBird
I couldn't help but share this one that lists:
"1 gull sp."
"1 tern sp." and
"12 bird sp."
I didn't even know the latter was an option

Re: Obviously incorrect reports on eBird
Here's a slightly obscure one from 1986 for you. The image of the "chukar" looks like a red-legged partridge and the "swamphen" is a takahe

... and a NZ dotterel on a shell bank and a flock of pied shags on a sandy beach in Milford Sound???
