We had a very good day of birding despite the rain - much better than I had expected in mid-June. I was pleased to find not only Ian's target Black-collared Starling, but also several other new birds for him (I think he was actually most impressed by the Painted Snipe!) Unfortunately the rain meant that we chose to leave our cameras behind, so we don't have any photos to upload to the lists.
Even though I've been on eBird for a while, it was great for me to see how efficient it was when used by an expert, and how easy it can be to get the sightings into the database.

The GuideMe? report in the last reference looks great, surprisingly complete and accurate considering the relatively few HK reports submitted so far on eBird.
Having found a target species in the HK List, you can assess how common it is on any date and then look at the Map to see locations.
This is the sort of report that makes eBird so interesting for me.
