Yes, I've been participating for about 3 yrs. Results can be submitted on
line now although I haven't tried yet, have you?


Like you I've been participating for a number of years. The on-line facility
is very good. It's easy to enter data and you enter the actual number of
birds recorded rather than within a band (for the common species) or present
or not (for the less common species) as on the OMR cards. When you are
registered for on-line use you can see all the previous records you have
submitted.
