Digital Birding Database

This is a database that stores historical personal records, and the results of testing the Digital Birding Tool. The records in this database have all been collected by Piers Higgs (with more experienced birders like Mike Higgs, Roy Teale, Claire Stevenson and David Kimball on a varitey of the surveys ). This database has been developed as a proof of concept that you can obtain data in a format that you want for a report from a web database.

Summary Information

The database currently holds:

• 143 sites,
• 346 surveys of those sites, resulting in
• 7822 records of birds, from 284 different species, consisting of 31856 individual birds.

For more information on the Digital Birding Database, please feel free to contact us, or look at the Digital Birding Tool product page for specific information on that.

* Some sites in the database are not available for browsing. Most sites have had site locations gathered using either a GPS unit, or through the Google Earth application.

To populate the database, we use the Digital Birding Tool as a data capture device, then the records have passed through a range of intermediate tools, like Microsoft Access databases, Excel spreadsheets and a range of other tools during testing and development. We are currently working on migrating the entirety of the records in this database across to Earth 2.0, where we can then use the Earth 2.0 tools to upload and quality check the data. In addition, these records will then be available in a Web Mapping Service and through a TAPIRLink feed for anyone who wants to use them. The Digital Birding Database will remain (it's a useful proof of concept and a nice Google Maps implementation), but will be a cache of the main dataset stored in Earth 2.0.
