Hi everyone,
Thank you to everyone who responded whether on or off birding-aus.
I still don't know what choice to make partly because no-one seems to have
used BirdLog's world list, which if it wasn't too cumbersome would be ideal,
but partly because the new iPad mini and Pizzey & Knight is still being tested,
but two different testers have both indicated that they are impressed as far as
they have had time to test.
Thanks again,
Sonja
