The Society is dedicated to extending the knowledge of bird life in Andalucia and involving its members and visiting birders in the quest for this knowledge. A major step towards this achievement is to maintain a central database of bird sightings in Andalucia and make available to its members and the general public all the information that is collected. To achieve this, our Society needs as many members and visiting birders as possible to provide their bird sighting information so it can be entered into the database to help us improve our records of the birds of Andalucia. The Society has standardized on key data areas, such as bird names, status, age, sex and the habitat in which the bird was observed to ensure that data is consistent. Information about these standard items of data can be found below. Also an ABS Bird Sighting Recording Form has been produced that members and visiting birders whom are providing bird sighting information are required to complete and return by email (

), marking it for the attention of the Project and Survey Officer. The data contained in the returned forms will be entered into the central database and reports posted on the website for members and the general public to access. Both current and historic records are equally useful so please dig out those old sighting records. A web page will be produced that is dedicated to each province. All information related to bird sighting records for a particular province will be found on its respective web page. Where information is produced that relates to Andalucia as a whole it will be replicated on each province page. We are initially starting with the province of Cádiz, Málaga, Almeria, Granada and Huelva, all coastal provinces, we will add the other provinces as soon as possible.
