  • I think it's a great idea, and a lot of effort will have been put in by enthusiastic birders. I had a look at my local one and the description posted on 16 January 2023 is sadly out of date with regard to the management of the site; I think it's important as the management will go towards the richness of wildlife and plants. Makes me wonder what else is not quite right.
  • All areas are continuously updated by authors, users and a team of Birdingplaces volunteers. Everbody can make suggestions and improvements at the bottom of each area and these are then incorporated into the text. The site is made by and for birders and that's why it's nice if birders report things that are incorrect or outdated
