Hi Peter, Mona, Martin, others interested,

After I by chance noticed absence of anything beyond Sep 2015 under my My
Data on Birdata I emailed a query to Birdlife.

Birdata project manager Andrew Silcocks responded thus, on Aug 6:





*Hi Tony,Thanks for your email. We haven't imported eBird data for a while.
We have been having issues with reclassifying the surveys types. However
we’re about to do our first import and will be uploading eBird surveys
which have the Birdata survey types specified. So your surveys will be
amongst those. Should be done over the next week or two.Regards,  Andrew*

So after four weeks and no changes I decided to see if stirring things up a
bit might move things along a bit faster. And perhaps help answer questions
others have.

Tony

New bird today - old problem. The previously unlisted (on eBird) Grey Whistler 
won't sit still for a picture worthy of its noteworthy arrival.
