23/5/2011

Over the last few months, I've been continuing to convert the old webpages to the new format whenever I have time.  It is a much bigger job than I anticipated and I'm probably only about half way finished.  Still to do are about half the bird galleries (there are about 1000 species in there now...), most of the foreign trip reports and the pre-2009 diary pages.  I've also recently added a couple of new families to the bird galleries (Grallinidae (Mudlarks) & Struthideidae (Australian Mudnesters) and few new species to existing families.  These include:  Crossbill sp., Garden Warbler, Cetti's Warbler, & Red Grouse.

The Australian trip report has unfortunately been delayed a bit due to me having to devote most of my free time the last couple of weeks to moving house.  All the photos have now been edited, but I still need to write the text for all the pages. It should hopefully be completed sometime in the next couple of weeks.
