We are pleased to announce the launch of our very own company forum!  This is now live on our website, and can be viewed by clicking on Forum on the menu.

The forum is a place where Bird Journal users can go to share checklists, wildlife checklists and synonym lists, to discuss new features or problems, or just to chat about birding.

You don't need to register to download lists created by other users.  And if you want to contribute, then registration is quick and easy.

So if you create a list in Bird Journal that you think will be of benefit to others, please do consider sharing it on our forum.  We look forward to building a very valuable resource for all Bird Journal users to enjoy.

We had an enjoyable weekend exhibiting at the Birdwatcher's Spring Fair in Tamworth.  It was great to show off version 2 of Bird Journal, and nice to receive such a warm response.

A special thank you to those of you who travelled long distances to see us.
