 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.

    cuckoo return at Hamilton
 
  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.
