2006 24 Hr National Twitchathon Results
See below the results of the 2006 National Twitchathon.
Congratulations to the Hunter Home Brewers on being the 2006
Australian Champions. What a fantastic effort!
As you can see the results were very close, with the top positions
being seperated by only a few points. Equal 2nd was the Whacked-out
Woodswallows (last years national winners) and the Victorian winners,
the Bush Turkeys. 3rd was (unfortunately) my own team, the Seven Year
Twitchers.
111 233 Hunter Home Brewers (Mick & Steve Roderick, G. Anderson,
L. Grenadier) (NSW)
109 228 Whacked-out Woodswallows (David Geering, Carol Probets,
Clive Meadows) (NSW)
109 213 Bush Turkeys (Sean Dooley, Peter Lansley, Paul Peake,
Nevil Amos) (VIC)
107 210 Seven Year Twitchers (Tim Dolby, Greg Oakley, Fiona
Parkin) (VIC)
102 214 Dodgy Drongos (Grant Brosie, Nick Livanos, M. Kearns & R.
Macdonald) (NSW)
96 202 Hunter Thickheads (NSW)
93 182 Common Loudmouths (F. Mitchell, G. Hunt, P. Jackson, P.
Kelly, R. Thomson) (VIC)
91 190 Central Coast Champions (NSW)
90 189 Canberra's Crazy Capital Chooks (Canberra OG) (ACT)
90 188 Black-necked Stalkers (NSW)
87 183 Cheerful Drongos (NSW)
83 175 Grey Toilet Thrushes (NSW)
73 154 Eastern Whiplashes (NSW)
73 143 Muskalorikeets' (Ken Norris and family) (VIC)
73 142 Wooden Spoonbills (Noel, Lynne, Brenna, Asha Billing) (VIC)
Note: scores are calculated using the Modified Dolby System: team
score equals team total / state average of average past (10) winning
scores x100. Note: NSW & ACT 24 hr average over last 10 years equals
209.6; Victorian 24 hr average over last 10 years equals 195.6. As
yet, no results have yet been recieved by other states.
As can be seen by the NSW thon reports from the Hunter Home Brewers,
Whacked-out Woodswallows and the Dodgy Drongos, birding doesn't get
any better!
Thanks Alan Morris for coordinating a great NSW / ACT thon, and thanks
to Fiona Parkin for helping with the VIC thon. I'm interested to see
how teams went in other states, such as WA, Queensland, South
Australia and the new comp in Tasmania. Out of interest, the Northern
Territory ran their thon in May, see:

In Victorian all sponsorship will be directed towards the Birds
Australia - Victoria Research Award, an award of excellence for
ornithology research.
