Many people from birding-aus participated in this event last year. I
commend this to you. There is always the chance that you will add a species
to the count resulting in Y1000 (~AU$14) being donated to Birdlife
International. So lets see the seabird records added, or visits to Gluepot,
or other out of the way places.
I append the notice that I have recently received for participation details.
