World Shorebirds Day
6 September 2014
A message from Gyorgy Szimuly - Coordinator of the Global Events of the World Shorebirds Day
In case you haven’t heard, the World Shorebirds Day is to be held on the 6th of September 2014 for the first time! One of the key programs of this special day is the Global Shorebird Counting, which is a public awareness initiative. I ask all birders anywhere to take part in the counting in any areas where shorebirds occur. Don't worry if there aren’t huge numbers of shorebirds in your area. We just ask is that you go out birding, what every birdwatcher loves to do anyway, but look for shorebirds on this day.
Please consider supporting this initiative and register your location on our website. By registering a location you can be a part of a draw to win a fantastic bird book package worth about £150.
Registration of the location and more details about the Global Shorebird Counting Program can be found here: http://goo.gl/jNW1VG
The map with more than 340 locations already registered can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/ICpB7X

Thanks for your time and please help us to reach our goal of having a thousand locations registered by 6th of September 2014.
Best wishes, Szimi
