Hi Jude,

Have you considered using Eremaea eBird? Your observations can be reordered at previously defined hotspots or you can make your own personal locations. They become part of a worldwide database and the fine positional accuracy is invaluable for plotting species distributions among a host of other things.
Better still, it is free.

Have a look at the web site, http://ebird.org/content/australia/
There is a mountain of information, especially in the Help section

Regards

Roger Giller.

I need help ....
Can someone out there in our wonderful birding area of Australia tell me how they break up the various areas of each state and territory of Australia.


Eg:  At this stage I record the Southern Cassowary as being located in Qld.
Eg:  At this stage I record the Western Thornbill as being in WA
Eg: At this stage I record the Grey Whistler (Pachycephala simpled simplex) as being in the NT as compared with the other spp being in Cape York area to say .. Cairns.




I was wondering if someone has come up with a divisional area of Australia so as I can now record birds in various sections/areas of each and every state .... eg: the


Southern Cassowary as being in   Far North Qld
The Western Thornbill as being located in s.w. WA
The Grey Whistler (simplex spp as being located in coastal NT


That way I would be able to see more clearly, if I sighted a bird 'out of it's normal range' plus at the same time, record birds that endemic to certain areas within each state of Australia.


Gee ... dont want to start a big discussion on this .. just wondering what other people do.


Jude
