International Shorebird Counts 6-7 September

["Philip Veerman" <>]

Hi All,

 

I expect many would like to contribute to this. The poster has asked me to forward this on to this list.  He has even written to me to suggest that trying from Canberra or regions similar is still OK. It would be great to spread the word. I encourage you to participate in the counts. No matter if you are not living on top site along the coast. Every little counts. :) This is more about a celebration of waders/shorebirds than a hardcore scientific project. Australia is still quite under represented if you see the map: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=z3yRwAVo2mAw.k42bDqIRe7a4 

 

Apologies if it is a repeat. And let's not get bogged down about whether it is "shorebird" or "wader". Please correspond with , not me.

 

Philip

Dear Friends,

On 6-7 September an International Shorebird Counts will be held as a part of the event series of the World Shorebirds Day. We'd be thrilled if African birders would support this idea and would join this global event, supported by eBird.

Please help us to make it a worldwide event. More details can be found in the blog of the special day.

Related contest is here: http://worldshorebirdsday.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/the-first-mini-contest/

Don't worry about the early announcement. At this point we'd like to see the sites booked on the map. :)

Thanks for your support and happy birding.

Best wishes, Szimi
