Hi All, I expect many would like to contribute to this. The poster has asked me to forward this on to this list. Apologies if it is a repeat. And let’s not get bogged down about whether it is “shorebird” or “wader”. Please correspond with gyorgy.szimuly@me.com, not me. Philip _____ To: AfricanBirding@yahoogroups.com From: gyorgy.szimuly@me.com Subject: [AfricanBirding] International Shorebird Counts Dear Friends, On 6-7 September an International Shorebird Counts will be held as a part of the event series of the World Shorebirds Day. We’d be thrilled if African birders would support this idea and would join this global event, supported by eBird. Please help us to make it a worldwide event. More details can be found in the blog of the special day. http://worldshorebirdsday.wordpress.com/2014/02/13/shorebirds-unite-us/ Related contest is here: http://worldshorebirdsday.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/the-first-mini-contest/ Don’t worry about the early announcement. At this point we’d like to see the sites booked on the map. Thanks for your support and happy birding. Best wishes, Szimi _ Gyorgy Szimuly Coordinator of the World Shorebirds Day Event Series http://worldshorebirdsday.wordpress.com
