Hi
I don't know why these birds are recorded as Red-browed Finch although michaeld confirmed them as Dacelo nov.

Looks like a hiccup during the merging...

Species were untouched during merging, this was me live testing the audit trail performance fix last night.

Funny coincidence: yesterday we observed a flock of 6 or so Red-browed finches when we had a work session in the Mt Majura nature reserve east of the Fair- they were in a mixed species flock with resident wrens and thornbills around the gully close to Valour park; unfortunately we couldn't take photos.

Wow that's awesome to hear Waltraud. My testing makes real live birds appear as actual future sightings!!!
