NB - Change of date The October outing will be held
on the second Saturday of October [rather than the first] - 10 OCTOBER
The October outing
will be a mini twitch!
My cunning plan involves starting at 7am at the state school
in Mapleton.
Teams [minimum 2 – maximum of 4] would be decided only then
and each team would have to quickly plan and participate in a day long birding
programme that would finish at Mapleton [Tavern?] at 6pm.
If members are unwilling to commit to birding all day then I
suggest they can quickly design a morning’s birding programme, again starting
in Mapleton.
Obviously the plan would involve visiting as many different
sites between the range and the coasts as possible. [For your interest high
tide at Toorbul is 2pm on the day]. Participation fee for the day would be $20
per person with the funds going to the Grasswren project.
The rules of the twitch are that all recorded species must receive
a 100% identification by a minimum of 50% of the team. Birds may be identified visually
or by call / song.
There will be no prizes for winning our twitch but your name
and photo will be immortalised on our blog!!
Please email me asap
to register your interest in participating. friarbird43@bigpond.com
