Thank you. This is very useful.

I have a follow up question.

In the 2005-06 Annual Bird Report there were five species rated as common but with low, or lowish records, in the General Records (GR) and/or the Garden Bird Survey (GBS). These were:

Wonga Pigeon 3 GR, 0 GBS
Southern Boobook 10 GR, 85 GBS
White-throated Needletail 10 GR, 11 GBS
Rainbow Bee-eater 31 GR, 8 GBS
Superb Lyrebird 33 GR, 0 GBS.

Would it be useful to record all observances of these uncommonly recorded common species, regardless of whether you are picking them up on a survey or as incidental records?

Folks, as promised last night please find attached a copy of my presentation for your comments.

This was drafted with the help of COG's records management team in response to Julian's questions on this discussion list a couple of weeks ago.

This is also attached in a simpler 1 page format, but with a map of the number of record sheets per grid cell in 2005-2006. This clearly illustrates the concentration of observations in certain areas.

I would be grateful for any comments that you have - could you please make these as clear, concise and specific as possible.
