Claims New Zealand Fernbird. Surely they meant New Zealand Fantail, not New Zealand Fernbird, since they mentioned "including 1 dark morph"

Common Gull-Billed Tern has one accepted record in NZ so far, these are Australian Terns.

The New Zealand eBird filters have just been rerun which will pick up birds that have yet to be reviewed (particularly if numbers on the filter have been adjusted since). The reviewers will get to these in time, I have over 1000 records to go through now for Northland and some other regions have a much higher backlog.

Almost all birds are 'Singing' in this list. Expected for Grey Warbler. Bar-tailed godwits, wrybill and harriers singing is a little odd.

Little-bronze Cuckoo bumped rather than Shining/Shining-bronze, presumably. Likely just a typo.
