    A teenage Australian? I'd be interested in contact details if he is :t: I'm also now on 92 for Australia in 2013, 252 worldwide, plus another 6 heard. I have a 4 week trip to Northern Aus planned as a Year 12 celebration in December, and will probably get my year list up very high :-O Aiming...

    There are a few other "young birder" groups on facebook, but the one that we're talking about (the best one ;) ) is secret, so you won't be able to search for it. We have almost 50 members at the moment.

    If anyone wants to be added to the facebook group, PM me with a link to your facebook profile, I'll friend you, and add you to the group! If anyone is worried (like I was ;)), yes, the group is secret, so your friends won't see you posting about birdy things on their newsfeed ;)

    Now 199, with a pelagic today off Sydney - honestly, it was a bit of a let down bird-wise, but there were some awesome sea-monsters. Read all about it! ;) http://j-twitcher.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/whales-whales-whales-oh-and-some-birds.html

A camp on the weekend got me some good birds such as Australian Owlet Nightjar, White-backed Swallow (lifer), Black-chinned Honeyeater, Black Falcon, Emu, Diamond Firetail, etc, etc. Report and photos on my...

    I've been a bit slack (with birding and updating the total!), but I'm on 141 now, recent highlights including Powerful Owl, Rose Robin, Grey and Brown Goshawks, Peregrine, Varied Sittella, Australian Brush Turkey, etc. Probably not a lot of birding for the rest of the term, but the winter...

    Fiji in 2 weeks :) Not a lot of birding going to be done there, but I might get 10 lifers or so... Google Golden Dove - you won't regret it ;) Surprisingly, my year list has actually not increased since I last posted! School is ramping it up... That said, I'm going Masked Owl hunting tonight...

    Great pelagic trip yesterday, with some rarer tropical seabirds thrown in - Red-footed Booby, Streaked Shearwater and White-necked Petrel were highlights B (: Up to around 35 now, but I'm not doing a full count until I actually manage to get out to a forest and get most of the common birds :t:

    Welcome to the thread :) In regards to a life list, really it's just a way to keep track of your achievements, and can be a great way to have a bit of fun with your birding mates. Sure, I know of many people who don't keep lists, but if you're planning to be birdwatching (/twitching) for the...
