Dave,

I agree about Birdata, and I think Eremaea is a logical candidate as well. As for France, I am not sure that that there is an online birding database there. Unfortunately there is much more interest in eating the bird species than recording the sightings.

As for taxonomic conflicts, no doubt they will be resolved in the usual manner, by civilised, scholarly discussion, based on well researched data.

Worldbirds will be an interesting space to watch.

Cheers,

Carl clifford

Doesn't seem to have a link for Australia yet - the countries with databases are a fairly random selection (Bulgaria has one but not France for example). I wonder whether this a chance for Birdata to get their system linked in? And if so how taxonomic conflicts would be resolved? Sounds a good idea for those who want to travel and see what data has been collected - a massive undertaking!
