Hi. Thanks for the updates and congrats on moving up to third place, Pete.

thenorthernmonkey: generally we try to follow the punkbirder rules, but it doesn't really matter.

There's a good page with "self found" rules here http://www.freewebs.com/punkbirder/selffoundrules.htm

Many thanks for this - I did read it a few days ago after i started a thread entitled "what constitutes self found" when i became supicious of someone nearby to me being a stringer.

At the end of the day though it's not my business, they are only cheating themselves.

 

[Pete Mella]

Hi David,

I would love to be a part of this, but have only just noticed it. Its not right that I join this late, but just for fun, here is my year list:
http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=130661

I will try and work out my score had I been in the game, and get back to you.

I'll certainly participate in 2010.

Sean

P.S. It would be great to see you and Billy on another RSPB walk!

 

[Tri-Counties Birder]

I have just worked out my score would come to 6515, and thats without any self-found bonuses.

But, I think its unlikely I will do that well next year, so look forward to giving you a run for your money!

Sean

 

[Pete Mella]

Can't compete with this new challenger but add me...

Whooper Swan, Shore Lark, Twite, Water Pipit and Red-necked Phalarope, which is another 135 on top of the last lot.

 

[devilbirder]

My sincerest apologies for again neglecting this thread! My excuses are being away for a week, GCSE's and Birdforum failing to send me updates!

Unforunately I do not have the time tonight, really, but I am putting a post-it on my pc screen for tomorrow.

Sorry!

David.
