Some of the comments from our readers Newsweek May 2004 (click on image for larger size) Los Angeles Times, February 17th 2004 "I went into your new website and can only say "WOW!" I think what you and your colleagues have created will become one of the most popular birding sites on the web." "I had read about the site in a birding magazine here in the US and started sending our other birding friends the website. Please keep up the fantastic work. The site is awesome!" "Thanks again, a great web-site that you have developed and lots of people are talking about it. All the best from down under" "Hello, I recently found your excellent web-site via recommendation in the German Birdnet. It’s really great !" "This site is mind- blowing - something for everyone, from I.D. features, photos, news, including rarities, from around the world etc etc etc. Also the comprehensive list of links could keep you occupied for hours, whether you're looking for information on birding, health, weather, etc etc etc. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (sorry to shout!)" "Hi, After visiting the site couldn’t resist dropping you a line. Finally the site I think many birders have been waiting for..." "I visited your web site today for the first time. I live in Florida (USA). Thank you for starting and sustaining a web site that has things of such value. As the web becomes more and more commercial it gets harder and harder to find things of real value on it. Thanks for being an exception to that." "I found an excellent link which takes you to surfbirds.com which is rapidly becoming the premier birdwatching internet site."
