Greetings All

I can fully concur with Dave's remarks.  Surely we have enough, nay, more
than enough databases and assorted personal bird recording programs clogging
up the works.  I note ebird is scheduled to hit our shores anon. 

ENOUGH, already.

It's the same with birding organization catering to humbling low number Down
Under, squabbling over the spoils.  Someone, much wiser that I, once said
something to the effect that strength lies in unity and not in a plethora of
bodies competing for the same limited dollar in a "small" [from a population
prospective] pie.

Stir the possum.  Let's have BA and all others attached as affiliates.
Let's have one NATIONAL database.

The devil is in parochial passions as much as in the detail.  

Cheers 

Julian
