Recent additions[edit]

@Navaneeth Sini George: I wondered what the source was for your recent additions. As Wikipedia is based on having reliable sources, that's important. I especially wondered about mew gull and black tern since their range, according to their articles, doesn't come close to Kerala. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 03:34, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed those two. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 03:08, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They are both found on Dennis LePage's Avibase list with the black tern listed as an accidental. Terns in general can range widely as vagrants. Probably same with mew gull, although he doesn't list it as a vagrant. He calls common gull as mew gull, conforming with the IOC, not sure if that is the conflict ....Pvmoutside (talk) 16:16, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 16:39, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
