Thanks Tim.

I did find the results of a bit of an abbreviated survey conducted by BA in 1999, but that's just about it.

Regards, Laurie.

Do you know of any

Hi Laurie,

Here's a list on birding reference that I've collated for something
else, for your information. Much of it deals with overseas research, but
much deals with Australian material.

Let me know if you get any other feedback re this questions, and receive
materials that I may have missed.

Cheers,

Tim Dolby

I am writing up a conference paper on Birding-Aus that I presented in
July and am trying to locate any published research on birdwatchers in
Australia.  Do you know of any published studies of Australian
