Autumn Birds 2007

Same rules apply as for the "250 in 2006" Challenge. Seems 250's no pushover locally, especially in a drought! Nevertheless, 250's achievable and will continue to remain our annual target. Report sightings ASAP for everyone's benefit.

And from now on we'll just refer to it as "The Challenge".

AUTUMN targets

Post by Mick Atzeni »

Bill's correct. I'm keen to repeat the BEYOND exercise for Autumn, Winter & Spring. Would like to keep WITHIN tallies as well.

Also keen to set a MARCH target of 180 WITHIN since this year, March is also when our Species Census weekend (24/25th March) will take place, instead of October.

Will set up some appropriate forum headings, but in the meantime post Autumn sightings under Sightings/Bird Notes and I'll move them later.

Cheers
