My response to Con's question is yes. That is largely because getting records of these speices will be enhanced by people getting out into areas with few reports at the relevant times. For example, being in the Brindabellas after dark will greatly enhance reports of the Boobook (those with long meomries will recall McComas's slide of this species which apparently only occured in the settled areas or the place where one member camed near Bulls Head),

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?
