Birds Queensland and BirdLife Southern Queensland Twitchathon will be held over the week-end of 17-19 October 2014.  You can travel anywhere in QLD. See how many species of birds your team can find in the hours set out in your chosen category.

This is the major fundraising event for Birds Queensland and BirdLife Southern Queensland in 2014 and your team entry and your sponsors will assist us in raising funds for important avian conservation and research projects.

The Twitchathon aims to provide a fun, social, ethical and competitive birding event that encourages participants to research and explore Queensland’s diverse bird habitats.

The total prize pool is $1500 and prize amounts per category may vary depending on the number of individuals per team (see Rules and Conditions).
