Congrats Lindsay on the award. Well done.
However, the Fisher Island Short-tailed Shearwater study in Bass Strait is
the longest continuous seabird study in the world. The study was started by
Dom Serventy and CSIRO in 1947 and is now in it's 60th year.
Cheers,
Mark

Just a note to let birding aus readers know that the winner of the 2007
Serventy Medal is a long time birder, Lindsay Smith from SOSSA. Lindsay
received the medal yesterday from the NSW environment minister Bob Debus at
a luncheon at Parliament house Sydney. Lindsay has worked with Albatross
for over 20 yrs and the Wollongong seabird study is the longest seabird
study in the world now into it's 50th year. It was the first time I have
seen the old sea dog lost for words and I wonder if he will be wearing the
medal ( which must weigh about 1 kg) on next Sat boat trip! Lindsay and
Janice work hard to keep SOSSA afloat with their talks,monthly boat trips
and banding trips to five islands and it was great to see their hard work
recognized. Regards Terrill
