It could also be an influencing factor in the dedication, or otherwise, 
of potential recorders.
I confess, I did not persevere with atlas recoding this time. It was 
just too onerous, filling out all that paperwork all the time. I regret 
what some may see as my laziness and I fully understand the desirability 
of using rigorously designed survey methods, but the fact remains....
On another subject, is there a on-line birder who knows the SA 
Blythe-Brinkworth area and would like to email me for a chat?
