Hi Claire, Thoroughly enjoyed reading about your trip. So many of those places i went too last year and looked for similar birds, but was only successful with a few of my target species…still enjoyed it immensely though….
I read with interest about this ‘ebird’ site…it seems to be predominantly a british site am i right?? Is there a write up somewhere on there about the birds of Australia, as in, a category for birds of Australia where you can list the species seen and upload pictures?? Thanks for your help Kirri ===============================

eBird is a worldwide database run by Cornell Lab of Orthnithology located in NY state. The database is approaching 100 million records and now has occurrence maps of many migrating species of Nth American birds. Take a look at http://ebird.org/content/ebird/about/occurrence-maps/ and watch how bird migration for a particular species evolves over the course of 12 months. In these maps one can see how some species take different routes during the spring and fall (autumn) periods of migration. It just shows when large amounts of data are available modelling bird movements can become a reality.

E-bird is based in America but is a global database. The bird recording software I use (Bird Journal) has a function that allows you to export straight into it. The only issue is that it uses Clements / IOC names so that takes some adjustments. I use it as well as Eremaea. Dom
