Bird Race, May 2011.....

Anyone interested? Myself and a couple of others are doing a 24hr Montgomery bird race on the 21st of this month? Normally the 'rules' say that you have to have 3-4 people in a team, and that at least 3 of you have to see/hear the bird in question. However as Montgomeryshire (like the rest of Powys) isn't blessed with 100's of birdwatchers I don't see why groups of 2s cant join in, or even if you want to go it alone. The only thing I do ask, is that's it's kept to Monts. Anyway, it's all a bit of fun, and you never know what might turn up with all those extra eyes on the look-out?!

Happy birding
Paul
