Noticed in your notes that you've recorded this sighting at Aldinga Wetlands, but on the map, you've pinned it near by Victoria Park/Pakapakanthi? Could you please correct this so we can get accurate data? Thanks.

The abundance range is too much for this species. Superb Fairywrens are abundant at this time of year (predominantly around Adelaide/Suburban areas in South Australia), but there aren't many records (or even none) of these birds with numbers ranging between 101-1000; were all these birds sighted at the same time, or was this recorded over simultaneous days? Thanks.

If the site was easier to use I would comply. Fix it yourself.

Thanks for your contribution. From my understanding, there is nothing wrong with inserting data submissions on the platform. We've had a few minor bugs here and there, but nothing with data. I'm not sure what you are referring too?

Hi Gary. Thanks for your contributions. We are a citizen science platform, so we require accurate data. We are not here just for showing off photographs. So if you don't wish to participate as a citizen scientist then you can post your photos on another website. Regards, Michael
