Global Birding weekend (1 Viewer)

[Steve Lister]

Most people must have seen the announcement of the next Global Birding event to be held over the weekend of October 8th 9th and 10th. See globalbirding.com if you have not. The basic premise is to encourage local low-carbon birding, maybe breaking a few records in the process such as the number of species seen, number of birders involved. The last two events in October last year and then this May did just that. Plus it can be a fundraising event for a worthwhile Birdlife project.

If there is sufficient interest amongst Birdforum members it would be nice to have an international team made up of as many members as possible and covering as wide a range of countries as possible. I was hoping that admin might organise things but if not I am happy to give it a go.

All it need involve is you going birding as much as possible that weekend and entering your sightings lists onto the eBird system after you have registered as a member of the team.

Anyone interested?

Count me in Steve!

Not so many species here by early October, but can join in - might add at least a bit of woodpecker flavour

I'm having second thoughts about organising this - plus the interest seems minimal.

So if it is thought to be a good idea then someone else, hopefully admin, can do the registration etc.

I think it should be globalbirding.org (globalbirding.com takes me to a birder's website with no mention of this event)
