Hi all,
As no-one else seems to have yet answered Edwin's question re the results
of the NSW Twitchathon held last weekend, I have copied the full results
below as provided by Frances Czwalinna yesterday. The drought certainly
made the birds harder to find, and I think most teams' results were down
from last year. Our team (the Whacked Out Woodswallows - David Geering,
Mick Todd and myself) were fortunate to win the Main Race again with tough
competition from the Hunter Home Brewers and the Rustle Crows - have a look
how close the results were! It literally came down to a matter of seconds
as we ticked our last species less than a minute before finishing time. All
the teams who finished at Shortland seemed to have enjoyed themselves - we
certainly did - and I look forward to reading all the team reports.
Cheers
Carol Probets
