BAWA Twitchathon 2009

The BirdsWA Twitchathon was held over the 12-13 December 2009.
I was a member of The Big Twits - other members were Martin Cake, John Graff and Alan Collins (all seriously good birders). I have learned a lot from these guys.

The event was a great experience - I added 12 species to my life list including (but not limited to):
  • Little Penguin (swimming in the ocean, not at Penguin Island);
  • Jacky Winter (Dryandra Forrest);
  • Nankeen Night Heron (at Herdsman Lake).
We finished 3rd with 139 species in the 24 hour race. First place had 149 species, second place had 143 species.
