And let's be a bit realistic, how many people are going to bother going
to Jupiter well on the basis that the birds were reported there? Not me
, and I'm a twitcher who goes all over chasing new birds, but the
Princess is one I'll go without for the time being.  Twitching
efficiency is measured in $s per tick and probability of finding the
target bird.  A wader sitting on the beach at Cairns Esplanade is a much
better bet for my $, as would be a Spotted Whistling Duck at Weipa.

A valid point for sedentary species, but with the Princess Parrot I
don't  
think GPS coordinates of a sighting would help anyone find them again,  
beyond puttign them in an area where they had been seen once recently. A

nesting record would be different, of course.
