Where is Israel? 1 Month, 1 Week ago  
Hi Everyone

Can you tell me why there are no Israel/Palestine lists on BUBO - wanted to ping up a list from 2008 but this well-birded country seems to be currently ignored by BUBO. anyone know why?

(I've already posted this in Middle East region btw)

You could say the same for Jordan a much birded country.

Simple answer to both - we're too busy I'm afraid. BUBO Listing is run in a tiny amount of spare time and although we're delighted by the popularity of BUBO, it has grown out of our capability to keep up with it. I do have an Israel base list to add, and will do so when I get chance as I'd like to add my own Israel list too. I don't think I have a Jordan baselist though.

Sorry guys, just can't justify spending the time it requires - too many other competing demands at present.

Hi Andy

Quite understood and appreciate your work on BUBO. In the mean time I created a list under OSME region.

cheers

Hi Chris and all

Since you've done an OSME list it should be straightforward to copy this to an Israel list when we do get it up and running.

Apologies from me too for not so much input on BUBO Listing recently - we've both been caught with work overload at the same time Luckily we can keep existing lists up to date reasonably easily but it's more work to get "official" new ones on board. See www.bubo.org/Forum/FAQ-Frequently-Asked-...-does-not-exist.html for more details of how we handle new lists. We're always happy to get offers of help for these. Usually this means trying to find a copy of an official list for a country in electronic form, and then a few hours of spreadsheet wizardry and/or tedium!

Hi Andy

No apology required, mate. Having the site up is a great service as it is.

I meant I have created an 'Israel/Palestine' list under Middle East & Caucasus section of your tree structure, but right-clicking under the region. This will allow me to load sightings under the OSME list.

I guess the same could be done for Jordan.

cheers

Israel is now officially online: www.bubo.org/Checklists/israeli-rarities...-committee-irdc.html

Thanks to Jon Edwards for his help with converting this list.

Good job guys, but what do I do with the Israel/Palestine list I manually created as an OSME list that I am currently loading manually on the site? I can no longer see it under 'view all lists' but I can under 'my lists'. Weird! I guess I finish it then somehow I can convert it to IRDC list, yeah?

Hi Chris

We haven't done anything with your Israel/Palestine site/list: I can see it under View All Lists (then Middle East) as before. However what makes most sense going forward would be for you to Create New List for Israel, and do it by copying across your in-progress Israel/Palestine list. Then you can use this list going forward, and delete your Israel/Palestine one when you're happy with the new list.

Okay, thanks Mike.

I see it now - listed separately as Israel/Palestine. I'll try doing as you suggest and shout if I get stuck!

cheers, Chris
