Due to the high volum of spammers trying to get access to the Forum, we have decided to move all questions on bird ID, questions on site info, and other questions from the UAE birding group and from visiting birders to X. The link is here: https://x.com/UAEbirding_com

As many of you are aware, the EBRC is maintaining an offline Bird Database with records going back to 1949. Each record is stored on a date, a site, a count, notes if applicable, and with the observers name. The UAE Bird Recorder (currently that is me) will typically download a full month worth of records from eBird on the 15th of the next month, giving Observers ample time to submit and edit out any mistakes or omissions. So, as an example; on December 15th, I will download the November records. So, there is no longer a need to share your own eBird checklists with the eBird user UAE Bird Database. Thank you all for having done this in the past. This is a huge step forward. If you as a visiting birder want to share a particularly interesting checklist with us, we are ALWAYS happy to see a link to that checklist shared here, under UAE Bird Sightings.
