Hi Bob, and all
I'd just like to thank you for having to be away the weekend of the Alice
Springs Twitchathon, forcing Chris to find another cohort for that great
event. I had a wonderful weekend, including seeing a Grey Falcon before
breakfast!
It's a good way for an 'interstater/out-of-towner' to do a Twitchathon in
foreign territory - pair up with a 'local'. I did much better and learnt a
lot more about the district than bumbling about by myself.
Chris Watson has formidable knowledge of local birds and a range of jobs
which enable him to further his knowledge in the course of his work.
The Alice Springs Twitchathon was well organised and a great social event
with a BBQ dinner provided at the end of the event. I'd recommend others to
travel there for the event or make sure they're travelling through there
when its on in the future.
Sorry I didn't get to meet you Bob, but I always enjoy your contributions to
BAus and the blogs I read on occasions.
Cheers
