Roger Giller, one of the eBird reviewers who looks after the area of NSW around the ACT, has posted the following to the eBird Facebook page:

eBird Australia are currently switching to a new set of Data Quality Filters in NSW. These are based on the LGA/County regions and are generally smaller than the existing filters. Much of the work is being done behind the scenes. Those of you who subscribe
to the NSW Rare Bird Alerts will probably notice an increase in reports. Please ignore them. We will let you know when things are back to normal, hopefully within a day or two.

This is great news - a big job for the eBird managers from which we will benefit a lot by having filters that are specific to our local LGAs, rather than covering the large IBRA areas as now:
