(In chronogical order, starting from the bottom)
14 October 2012 (Beijing)
- Emendations to the notes for the naming of larks (Alaudidae) at Mongolia. The naming of small passerines is a messy area in Mongolian; this is crying out for more attention.

- Changed gloss of Mongolian буурал buural from 'roan' to 'greyish'. It apparently refers to an off-white similar to grey hair (i.e., mixture of original hair colour with grey hairs), although it is very hard to tell from looking at photos of birds exactly what exactly is буурал buural about them.

30 January 2012 (Ulaanbaatar)
- Again rewrote the introduction to Alaudidae (Mongolia). The usage of names for this family is difficult to pin down, and ornithologists' attempts to reassign existing names to cover scientific genera (sometimes resulting in the reassignment of names to totally different families) have only exacerbated this.
