My first bird recorded for the new Atlas was Australian Magpie carolling at
some ungodly hour - I didn't add to the list for some hours because I
immediately went back to sleep! My attitude will need something of a shift
of priorities now that we are in Atlas mode.
Are we in Atlas mode?? Haven't received any record sheets etc yet.
