Christchurch Birding Tournament - more people needed

[AngryBird45]

I've created a birding tournament in Christchurch if you're interested in joining.

Location: Christchurch Bus Interchange
Time: Meet and start at 10am, arrive back by 3pm
Rules: You have to find as many bird species in Christchurch as possible in 5 hours using only the bus or walking. You cannot go further than Templeton, Prebbleton or the Waimakariri River.

Make sure to keep a checklist that includes every single bird species you see with X counts except House Sparrow - it just makes things a lot easier.

To stop people going to the obvious hotspots immediately, if you get physically tagged, you lose a species, which is kept track of using the House Sparrow count, because let's be honest, everyone will find one immediately.

If you're interested, message me and I will add you to a group chat.

Lol, that sounds like great fun, would participate if I wasn't in Auckland.

You sure the hundreds of dollars to purchase a flight to Christchurch isn't worth it?

I might have to postpone it to next week if not enough people join.

Yeah - the date's being changed to 22 or 23 July, if more people can make it 23 July it'll be that date, otherwise it's 22 July.

And you don't need to notify me as long as you arrive earlier.
