Going Birding is now Live!


Just to let everyone know that the Going Birding site is now officially live and anyone who wants to can sign up and use it. All sightings will be forwarded to the OOS database at the end of the month so if you've got any sightings for February that you want to submit you need to do them a.s.a.p.
