I am pleased to announce that the BOCA website has now been updated with a list of birding locations (http://boca.org.au/come-birding/birding-locations) – a list of more than 750 spots to go birding as recommended by individuals, birding organisations and other bodies. Each location links where possible to nearby Eremaea locations so you can see bird sightings at or near to the location. It is also possible to post comments about each location so you can update the information provided with recent feedback.
Most information currently consists of links to other sites and downloadable brochures, but hopefully that will change with more information added as time goes on. It will soon be possible for individuals to add sites to the map and edit details of those sites that are there, so as to provide the best possible information for other birders. Some areas of the country are currently very well covered by locations – others have great gaps and I know some obvious sites are yet to make it to the database.
Of course the usual caveats apply – we are publishing in good faith and you should not rely on the information without trying to confirm it. Equally obviously we trust that any comments provided are useful and do not breach copyrights.
With this development completed our old birdobservers.org.au site will be de-commissioned in the next week or so.
Feedback welcomed either via comments on the site or to me directly. ===============================
