I'm sticking with IOC until Avilist restore Cabot's Tern to species - lunatic lump contrary to all the evidence 👍

That's entirely your choice, of course! Let's hope you're not stuck forever with a non-updating list, or that Cabot's will be costly in the long run... ;-)

It's not about personal lists, it's the scientific dishonesty and bias displayed in the attitudes shown in the vote for relumping Cabot's Tern (nitpicking and fault-finding, compared to raptuous enthusiasm for the same-data split of Royal & W African Terns) that grates so badly!
