I'd just like to clarify that outing lists can be entered into Eremaea, in the
part you log into. One off interesting sightings can be submitted as a
Birdline, which happens to be part of the same web site.
Occasionally people submit what look like full trip reports as Birdlines, and
that's not its purpose. I think this is why the some states' Birdline Monday
morning summaries get emailed to birding-aus later than the others - they're so
big that they get automatically held for moderation.
