Ta, sounds good
I've done it the last two years and it's a great dayout especially when uve got another team to compete againest.I was doing it again this year but couldn't get team together
I no pete antrobus,john gregory,malc curtin and fred fearne are going to do it next Saturday!
Four man team and plenty of preparation helps.knowing alot of birders in Cheshire they helped us with sightings throughout the day.Gutted can't do it this year but doing it a week earlier this year than the two previous so total mighnt not be as high
Bird race eh? done a few but the county isn't great for it really species wise...

Pete Antrobus - aka 'tripod?' I remember that name, i used to walk around Moore with Colin, his Uncle/dad possibly?
Thats the one. Ended up with 131 species yesterday and missed Ring Ouzel & Wood Warbler in eastern hills. Missed Whinchat at Leasowe due to dodgy directions & Little Owl that had shown everynight last week except for the most important one............
Did manage to pin down a Lesser-spotted Woodpecker for them though!
131 is officially not shabby......
Well done to all concerned - did Moore supply the Pecker?
No PhilW did. See his blog for details. 130 is about what I would expect for a Cheshire team.
