We would like to thank Mike Javis for creating the Mammals
of Australia checklist and also Chris Love and David Spencer for completing the
UK Macro Moth Checklist Project. As a
result of their dedication and time, you can download the wildlife checklists
for free from here:
The checklists are ready to use as soon as they are imported
into Bird Journal Complete Edition.
To make it easier to buy Bird Journal as a gift this Christmas we have improved the checkout page to include a ‘Gift it’ section. Previously there was no option to licence the product in a different name, you may now licence Bird Journal in his/her name. The ‘Gift it?’ section looks like this:
We wish you a stress free shop this Christmas 
“It is
very easy to use and self-explanatory and allows one to methodically record
each and every species of bird, mammal, butterfly, insect of flower that one
has seen - hugely impressive.” - Lee G R Evans

We are very pleased to have been reviewed by Bird Watching Magazine this month and would like to share with you their review.
“Even if your birdwatching is strictly of the casual,
stroll-in-the-country-and-take-some-bins type, there’s a lot of
additional pleasure to be gained from keeping a decent record of what
you see.”
