Hi,
Whilst we have some great forums for general birding chat and for reporting sightings, if you want to submit / view IMMEDIATE rarity information, you could check http://birdo.wildiaries.com.
On the left hand side, there are rarity updates from the last three days. These are a continual feed of any Twitter posts that contain “@birdorarity”. Anyone who tweets with that tag, will see their tweet appear on this page within seconds. This is not to replace the valuable service of Eremaea or birding-aus – the tweets on Bird-O are not stored anywhere, they are just for sharing updates.
It’s just another way to communicate information fast, from your mobile phone or a desktop computer … today, there were a number of inter-state visitors who could not get updates fast enough before booking flights. It’s a great way for all of us to help out our birding mates : )
If you want to receive free (for the time being) first alerts about national rarities on your phone, just send your mobile number to info@bird-o.com. We’ll add you to the growing list.
Merry Christmas,
Simon.
PS – I will have some video of the Stilt Sandpiper up on Bird-O before the end of the afternoon.
