Birding Guides Feature Added to Birdpedia

Hi All, Just wanted to let users of Birding-aus know that a Birding Guides Feature has been added to Birdpedia. Hearing that BirdingPal is now charging users for certain types of access I thought adding such a feature to Birdpedia might be useful. Members can now indicate if they are offering their services as a Birding Guide. Simply Login, go to your Personal page, and look for the ‘My Birding Guide Details’ link and complete the requested information. Each guide is Country specific so if you feel comfortable acting as a guide in several countries you will need to set up your details in each. We have decided to allow members that do guiding in a commercial manner to also advertise themselves. These professional guides will be indicated so users can filter them out if they wish. It is assumed that non-professional guides will not be paid for their services, but perhaps may expect offers to partially pay towards fuel costs, etc. Initial contact is by email only. Your email address will not be disclosed to the user of the service as emails are sent via our internal messaging service. This is a FREE service so please make the most of it and do not abuse it. You can access a list of registered Birding Guides using the link in the left menu (‘Birding Guides List’). To register yourself on Birdpedia (registration is FREE) go to www.birdpedia.com and select your Country of interest from the dropdown or enter the ISO Country Code (AU for Australia) in the box at the top left. Registration gives you complete access to all Countries that Birdpedia covers (currently more than 230). As always any comments or suggestions for inclusion of new features are always welcome.
