I don't think that does what I (and I assume Paul) want - I record all my
sightings in a "home made" database which covers the world. I would be more
than happy to export them to Eremaea or Birdata in a file, but I am not
prepared to sit down and re-enter them all by hand to either program. If you
wish to record a world list then of course Birdata is not suitable as it
only covers Aus - Eremaea is fine but really needs some form of bulk input
method I think - was that what you wanted Paul?
