The "best" bird is obviously a subjective choice for the winning team;
rarities like the Regent Honeyeater are great birds to see, but not
necessarily the best - the best could be that horrid little bird that's
supposed to be "common" but has taken you years to finally track down,
a bird that you expected to see but put on a good show or whatever.
To cater for this difference, perhaps next year's winner should choose
the "best and rarest".
