Have you tried birdtrack?
What are the available options in PC software for maintaining an ongoing record of birds seen? I'm looking for something more elaborate than a simple list.
For the PC, there's this: http://www.birdersdiary.com/
But maybe you're looking for something less elaborate (& expensive)?
Entering into a public online database is the way to go. Otherwise all your meticulous record keeping dies with you--while a public database lives (at least in theory) forever. I use eBird.

Thanks, looks good but seems not to include UK.
I had a look at Bluebird Technologies software (http://www.bluebirdtechnology.com/) at the birdfair and it seems very impressive.

You're right although my records when I start wouldn't cause many ripples in the world of science :-O
The ebird doesn't appear to have a UK portal.
