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.
