G’day Tickers & bird watchers Carl, what makes your observation worse is that when each of the persons on the tour then go and send those identical lists to eBird. I get very frustrated trying to gather swift data from eBird, where I have had up to 8 identical lists for the same place on the same day. Sometimes they admit there were others with them sometimes they do not.
