Golly. Thank you so much for pointing this out.  If I had known this was available ....  Fantastic! 

I have looked at the website maybe 50 times and never come across the database.   I guess it is easy for old hands to know things so well that they don't point them out to newbies, and I do think the database (if that is the correct term) should be more prominent and accessible on the website.  As far as I can see the only entrance to it is through "Birds of Canberra Gardens" on the front page, then "The birds".  While this might be obvious to those who understand that "Birds of Canberra Gardens" refers to the survey, to me it was just a heading about garden birds that I never clicked on since I sadly don't have a garden and I didn't want to rub it in. 

The database answers 80% of my ever-increasing questions! I appreciate the work involved by whoever collected the calls and the pics, and put the database together.  It is a great resource, but especially for newbies.  We beginners need to know about it. 

Sorry if I have been thick and missed some obvious direction to it, but ... I didn't see it before.

If there is none already, I will volunteer to collate an FAQ for the website, to give answers to the "where can I find ..." questions and any other questions that a beginner  might ask.   I know I would probably have saved a lot of people a lot of time if such a thing existed, but then again it probably does and I haven't found it.

Thanks!

Julian
