Hi Birders,
Here are the results of the winners of the NSW/ACT Twitchathon since the
State competition commenced in 1993.
I must say that I have my doubts about having a standard figure for NSW
because if a team operated in Southern NSW from west of the Ranges to finish
on the South Coast, the potential number of species would be lower than that
that could be recorded from either side of the ranges ending up on the
Hunter, and I would expect that a team operating west of the ranges and
ending up at Ballina on the NSW far north coast could potentially have more
species again.
NSW & ACT Twitchthon Winners 1993-2005
1993 182 Hunter Thickheads
1994 201 Grey Toilet Thrushes
1995 189 Grey Toilet thrushes
1996 181 Grey Toilet Thrushes
1997 211 NICMOOKTH (surveyed across northern NSW)
1998 178 Central Coast Champions & No GST
1999 185 Grey Toilet Thrushes
2000 203 Grey Toilet Thrushes
2001 218 Whacked-out Woodswallows
2002 197 Whacked-out Woodswallows
2003 222 Whacked Out Woodswallows
2004 220 Hunter Home Brewers
2005 229 Whacked-out Woodswallows
( For the benefit of interested readers, the teams Grey-toilet Thrushes,
Hunter Thickheads & Central Coast Champions have been in the competion each
year since 1993, the leader of the Whacked-out Woodswallows originally
participated in the Hunter Thickheads team before succesful branching out,
while the Home Brewers commenced about 2001.
These five teams are the usual top 5 teams from one year to the next.)
