Decade surveys

[Russell Woodford <>]

A message the other day from Peter Woodall prompts me to suggest a little
project for those of you waiting for the next wave of spring migrants.

Peter was comparing his garden bird counts from 1979 to the present. It
might be interesting to compare records made ten or twenty years apart at
the same location.  How many of us are in a position to do this?  And does
it really tell us much at all?  Probably not, as individuals, but if we
put our data together it might reveal some trends?

What do you think?  We might start a BIRDING thread here .....

PS Today I added Long-billed Corella to my garden list.  I haven't seen
them within about 10Km of here before.
