Well Stuart,
It is good that you love it. As I have often spouted before, we in Canberra (COG) have 1150 observer years of data continuously over 18 years of this sort of stuff, all assembled and analysed from our GBS. So we know all about when all the birds and how many of them arrive, leave, breed, increase in numbers, decrease in numbers, etc.

Hi Steve,

I love these sort of reports.  I can just imagine all the different
permutations that could be derived from recordings over ten years.

When we get up to Gembrook (Dandenong Ranges, Victoria), I am really
looking forward to starting these types of lists.
