Just downloaded this checklist. Realised that my Australia sightings had lost Striated Pardalote, pardalotus striatus. Tried to add it. My sightings report now has it, but while both the Australia and World checklists highlight the bird as having been seen, when I right click on the name no record is shown of the sighting.  There is the same problem when I try the edit function. No record.

Could a repeat download solve the problem?

Hello Charles,

A repeat download will not solve anything.

I am not sure how this could be happening. In order to figure out what is going on, I will either need to get onto your system, or, have you do a backup of your database, then ZIP and upload that backup file to me on the Support >> File Upload page on this site.

Then provide me with specific instructions on how to reproduce the problem. Exactly everything you do to reproduce it.

Thanks and let me know,

Jeff

Hi Charles,

Your account here is setup for email mariecharleslowe@ntlworld.com. If that is not correct, then please update it by clicking on your name in the upper right-hand corner of this page. If that is your email, then some sort of filter is catching your notifications - or you don't have notifications turned on.

As for the Striated Pardalote, that name is associated with two internal BD things:Striated Pardalote and Yellow-tipped Pardalote. The former, in Clements, is a subspecies P. striatus substriatus and the latter is the species.

When presented with the "Ambiguous Name" window, you can inspect which thing you are truly after by clicking on each thing and seeing which tax list they show up in and what their classification is. This would have shown you that "Yellow-tipped Pardalote" was the bird you were after.

Also, in the View/Edit window, select the Check Box to the right of the Name field. This forces all sightings for the selected name and any subspecies under it to show.

Take care,

Jeff
