  1. I've been sending surveys to Lara too. Do you think we could get the info together, we could display it on 25th Jan, when we have the birdwatch event. Talking of which, have you heard any more news on its format?

  2. As Lara has all the data in a spreadsheet, she should be able to supply a couple of printouts of the stats and graphs.

    I can also get info from BirdTrack on all my surveys as I sent them the same data.

    It's Sunday is it, not Saturday?
