The fluffy oakum boys. They're great to watch.
I would love to work there for a stint, but I was only passing through. Sadly there's not much need for primary school teachers in the sub-Antarctic or Antarctic.And I was there in 2011 in early January. A wonderful place. Just yesterday I convinced one of the young docs here to accept the offer of a job there.

I've been looking for an app that will identify birds by using the mic on a phone. I've tried a few, none 'til now worked well, and a paid version was the worst (euro centric).
This one from Cornel university was recommended to me by a very knowledgeable amateur (and it's free). Note that it uses your location to aid/restrict results, if you have an issue with that. It's worthwhile reading the instructions... you select a sample of the recording to send for (instant) analysis.
I find that you do need a clear sample for it to work, no background birdsongs.
