FYI Regards Grahame Rogers ——– Original Message ——– Subject: RE: Errors in statistsic From: Stacey Maden <stacey.maden@birdlife.org.au> To: Grahame Rogers <gwrogers@bigpond.com> Hi Grahame, Thank you for your email and participation in the Aussie Backyard Bird Count. The postcode statistics, unfortunately, aren’t entirely correct — we are aware of the issue and we have it flagged to address for next year’s Aussie Backyard Bird Count. We are also aware of many misidentified birds across Australia, the data will be vetted at the end of the event and any obvious mistake will be amended at this time. Thanks again for getting in touch.
