Martin - Just a point of clarification for the
Canberra birdwatching community, Stanley, as I’m sure you know, did not cross
the Congo River – or do so as a particularly notable achievement.
He did cross the Congo region from east to west, a hazardous feat accomplished
with great hardship (the quality to which I think you allude) and loss of life,
particularly on the part of the local population. The bird in the picture
is the White-spotted Flufftail, a bird of the Congo Basin and perhaps a
suitable choice for your coming BoM talk in response to Jack’s
invitation.

It does look interesting but it took a bit of ferretting to find the actual
CWMP site rather than just the press release about the Connecting Country
project. This http://cwmp.spatialvision.com.au/#
seems to be way in to the actual tool, which I haven't yet explored (and with
my level of expertise at GIS development could be rather like Stanley crossing
the Congo).

The
canberrabirds community often tries to put together a spatial picture of
incidence/abundance of specific species, typically in a verbal way. we've seen
it with Gang Gangs, Koels, superbs...
this
mapping portal by Spatial Vision may be useful for such exercises. maybe some
of the more spatially savvier of us wish to explore.
