Climatewatch are currently setting up a voluntary monitoring program for
Australia which starts in September on their website at
http://www.climatewatch.org.au/
They say: "By becoming a ClimateWatcher and then watching and recording
natural phenomenon; like when leaves start to fall, the budding of flowers
or the appearance of migratory birds; the information you record can help
the scientific community to understand the effects of climate change on
Australia's unique biodiversity."
Cheers,

A number of B-Aussers are involved in atlassing and many like to
report their first cuckoo observations. There is a Phenology Network
in the USA - is there an equivalent in Aus?

Citizen scientists monitor plants, animals and crops
The USA National Phenology Network opened in 2007. The aim is to
monitor biology across the US. Plants and animals are indicators of
changing climate. 5,000 citizen scientists track migrating animals or
flowering times of plants. The information is entered on a website and
analysed by ecologists. It is hoped the data will allow mapping of
ecological change as climate changes.
