Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about any of the details below.

Bruce, I'd be surprised if the BOCA CDs aren't available. BOCA has recently 
merged with Birds Australia to become Birdlife Australia, and I think they 
might have closed their shop, or be in the process of closing it. I see they're 
available from Lloyd Nielsen here:
http://www.birdingaustralia.com.au/shop.html
for $259. I think I bought my set direct from BOCA a couple of years ago for 
$200, so the price doesn't seem excessive. I think there are quite a few of 
Lloyd's recordings on the set, and possibly Dave Stewart's (among others), some 
of whose will be on your Morecombe app.

Hopefully someone else can point you in the right direction on the list, but if 
not then it would be worth contacting Lloyd directly.
