BDBSA Project Metadata Detail

Survey/Project Number: 862          Total No. of Sites: 0
Survey/Project Name: Birdata - BirdLife Australia (Third Party Managed)
Abstract: BirdAtlas data supplied by BirdLife Australia. It contains all South Australian records from numerous BirdLife Programs and Sources (includes some eBird data as well). This project description does not include the Shorebirds 2020 Program (refer to Survey 1234 for access to Shorebirds 2020 data). Survey 862 data is not stored or managed within the BDBSA and is not currently delivered in the FAUNA supertables. It is stored outside of BDBSA and accessible through a separate spatial layer. Internal users refer to EGIS - FAUNA.TP_BirdLifeAustraliaAtlasDB. External users should direct enquiries through DEWBioDataRequests@sa.gov.au. An older copy of Birds Australia data recorded PRIOR to 2006 is already stored within BDBSA under Survey Number 213 and available through the SA FAUNA Supertable. This will be archived at some point but for now users should filter this dataset out if they are appending the new 862 layer to avoid duplicate records. This data is supplied by BirdLife Australia with some preformatting done to match BDBSA. DEW translate the supplied taxonomy into that used by BDBSA. Any errors identified are fed back to BirdLife for assessment and will be updated on next refresh. Some additional fields available within the raw table held by DEW are not currently visible through the SA FAUNA supertable format. They are listed below: ATLASNR; COMNAME_AS_SUPPLIED; SPECIES_AS_SUPPLIED; FINISH_DATE; START_TIME; DURATION_MINS; SURVEY_TYPE; PROGRAM; BLA_SOURCE; BREEDING_ACTIVITY; TAXONOMY_MATCHING_NOTES; THIRDPARTY_PATCH_ID. Date of latest records in the DEW layer are Aug 2021. More recent data is held by DEW and awaiting upload. Access can be discussed via DEWBioDataSupport@sa.gov.au
