Bird Race 2004

This year is the Group‘s 30th Anniversary and we have decided to attempt to raise £10,000 towards the new Beckingham Marshes reserve in North Nottinghamshire. One of the ways we hoped to raise the money was by a bird race. As no other teams entered we decided to go it alone.  The team consisted of Andrew Griffin, Group Leader and driver, Stuart Taylor, former outings organiser, now itinerant RSPB warden, Stephen Wilkinson, group member and good birder and myself Dave Goodwin, outings organiser and scribe for the day. What follows is as best as I remember it, the trials of the big day.
