I'm using Birdlog already, Rob. I've just entered a couple of surveys to remind
myself why I find it so tedious. It's not so much the searching for species,
it's that there's a lot of what seems to me like unnecessary swapping between
the numeric and alphabetic keyboards, as well as having to hide the keyboard in
order to find the OK button to submit each species.
That's on the iPad. It appears you don't have to hide the keyboard on the
iPhone version.
