about

The group of species that inspired me was a list of ‘Hypothetical Taxa’, detailing bird species which are extinct, but their original existence is dubious in that they are likely to be only distinct at the subspecific level, or not valid at all due to historical lack of evidence. They are therefore omitted from the official ‘Red List’. This strange group of birds reminds the listener of the limits of human knowledge and gaps in historical categorisation, and evokes a sense of mystery surrounding species which have potentially been lost to history.
