 * Symbol question.svg Looks fine, it is long enough, new enough and well sourced. But the hook disagrees with the article. The hook says 30 species of birds but the article says 33 species. Do you mean to say over 30 species not specifically 30 species of birds live in the vicinity?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:44, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Either the figure should be less specific ("more than 30....) or the wording should be "...have been recorded". But 30 (or even 33) sounds too low for any location. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:12, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I meant 33; I've changed this. --Jakob (talk)  13:07, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Look at page 64 of if you don't believe me. --Jakob (talk)  15:02, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it would be better if it was changed to [more than 30...] since the source (it is actually page 50 on the document, 64 on PDF) says "The bird diversity was exceptional for the area. Bird species documented include ...[List of 33 birds.]" Is this implying these are all of the documented ones or some of the more spectacular ones? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KAVEBEAR (talk • contribs)
 * Without any way of knowing if that's a comprehensive list of birds, I've changed the wording in the hook to "more than 30". Perhaps it's more hooky that way anyway. --Jakob (talk)  15:34, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
