I have almost completed my reaorganisation of my list into Voous order. I was reading the webspage with the recent decisions made by the BOU. I wonder what the effect was on the list as some of the splits have yet to show up on the list such as the Flycatchers (Red-breasted and Taiga), I do not see Taiga on the list thus don't know whether to put it before Red-breasted or after. I am thinking it is not on the list as the two seen this year are not yet accepted.
It also mentions a lot of fancy words such as the Swans being conspecific, I can not find that word in the dictionary so do not know what that means to the list.
The page I refer to is this one http://www.bou.org.uk/recnews.html
From the Shorter Oxdic:
Conspecific, a & n. (An organism or idividual) of the same species.

That doesn't mean the Swans have been lumped together as the same species, does it?
