I have skimmed through the latest ABR and congratulate those involved in its production.

My attention was grabbed by the statement on p45 relating to Superb Lyrebird  that "There have only been 4 years in the past 30 that have had breeding records."  From my view anytime a male Lyrebird is heard rattling its tail feathers in early Winter it should be recorded as a Display (Di) record.  If that is the case I'd have expected many of the records from the Tidbinbilla Surveys to be coded as Di covering at least each of the past 10 years.  (Of course there should other similar records from observations outside these Surveys.)
