Alastair,
You may have the stick by the wrong end here. Eremea, you will find,
if you visit the site, is the main site for posting unusual sightings,
by means of the various Birdlines it links to. As far as I remember,
Eremea has been thus since its inception. Birding-Aus is more of a
general news/discussion group. As is stated on the Birding-Aus home
page, it is "a place for everyone with an interest in Australia's wild
birds, their conservation and behaviour". Eremaea, on their home page
states that it is "a free birding atlas to which anyone can
contribute". As you can see, the two do have different purposes.
Birding-Aus is possibly the quickest way to give a "heads up" on
rarities sighted for Australian birders, and updates on where the
rarity is day-to-day ( or sometimes hour-to-hour) and so they appear
here. For general sightings, the best place to post them is on the BA
Birdata database or by sending in an bird atlas sheet to BA.

David,
I wonder whether this is true for non-Melbourne birders and does this
mean
that us interstate birding-aus 'traditionalists' need to visit two
websites. I see that my email has been duplicated (and corrected where
necessary) on Eremaea.
I think this topic may have been discussed previously on birding-aus
so I
don't want to rehash, but are you saying that eremaea is the primary
site
for Melbourne/Vic birding as the discussion forum canberrabirds is for
us
in the ACT? Certainly I was not aware of this and I restricted my
research
to birding-aus before coming to WTP.
Whatsmore, on finding the bird we were advised by Melbourne birders, we
met and conversed with, to post the finding to birding-aus. No mention
was
made of eremaea.

Good Morning birders,
Three of us hope to go to WTP on Monday in the hope of sighting the
stilt
sandpiper so any help with its location over the weekend would be
really
appreciated.

Fiona Anderson
