RECORD SHEETS

If you would like to record your sightings and pass them on to the Club’s Records Officer, you can do so by downloading and printing a copy of the Bird Record Sheet. After filling out a record sheet for a site you have visited, you can either post it to: Hunter Bird Observers Club, PO Box 24, New Lambton NSW 2305, or email it to the Club’s records officer by clicking here. Another way to get your records to us is to enter them into Birdata, the national bird Atlas. We constantly check the Birdata archives for local records, and your records will also be adding to national understandings about the distribution of Australian birds. To access the Birdata site, click here.
