Hi All,
I shifted to FB about 12 months ago when the Long-billed Dowitcher
turned up. I did so with the intent of continuing to post to birding-aus
(and keep that part of the community up to date as well) but there is so
much material on FB that I gave up cross posting fairly quickly as I
couldn't keep up. I will continue to routinely post pelagic trip reports
to birding-aus (and facebook) but the reality is rare bird reports are
now largely on FB.
As for what Alistair is missing, on the Australian Twitchers FB page (a
closed group so you need to join FB then send a request to join AT
before you can 'see' anything) since the start of the 2016 (5 days)
there have been 10 individual posts on the Hudsonian Godwit and Paradise
Shelduck currently at Culburra Lake, NSW. Nested within those posts are
many photographs and perhaps 70 comments including detailed real time
directions, screen grabs of maps, photos of the bird (again some almost
in real time as smart phone grabs off the back of the camera), updates
on the weather at the site, contact details for accommodation etc etc.
There have also been posts on a Glossy Swiftlet reported in north QLD,
Common Moorhen and Common Kingfisher on Cocos, Watercock, also on Cocos
and field ID of two species of stint. Activity is fairly intense at the
moment because there is a lot about but it does tend to get much quieter
in winter!
Cheers,
Rohan
