		<abstract>
			<p>List of species names of birds that visit our backyard home garden. Casual observations produce a simple listing of species names seen each month. The observations include both Australian native species and introduced species.</p>
                  <p>Datasets such as this should provide useful presence data for certain scientific study, local wildlife conservation, and catchment management.</p>
                  <p>The list is presented as a collection of HTML documents. There is an introduction document with a site description, the bird identification method, and the summary species list. There is a separate document for each month, listing the common name, scientific name, and scanty notes. The summary species list has links to other resources about that species, such as: photographs, images, descriptions, bird calls.</p>
