This is a special package for COG, with a focus on
a waders project, with LHI expert guide Ian Hutton, plus Chris Hassell
from Broome Bird Observatory and Peter Fullagar (seabird expert and COG

as well as the special LHI birds like the Woodhen.
The itinerary
will be similar to the COG tour to LHI in November 2005 trip with walks, boat
trips, talks etc, but include the wader study project, and Peter and
Chris will give lectures on their specialities as well as Ian's LHI ones.
Participants will be briefed on the aims of the project, participate under
direction of Peter and Chris, and be mailed out results of project paper; plus
any ongoing reports that follow on will be reported in COG magazine each
year. It should be a very
full and interesting week. Accommodation is at the comfortable Somerset
