    Local Rare Bird Alert Systems

    Hi All There's a fairly large group of us interested in setting up a localised rare bird alert system in Singapore. Unfortunately, unlike many places in Europe and America, we don't have any existing bird alert services and are therefore having to go for the low-tech approach. The problem is...
