[Others 其他] Bird race arrangement 下次觀鳥比賽的安排建議

Bird race arrangement 下次觀鳥比賽的安排建議

以下是2011年度鳥會觀鳥比賽的安排建議,大家來討論一下。
1.日期定在4月9至10日
2.時間由12:30到12:30
3.在米埔直升機場完結
4.午餐可在士多內進行到會,例如安排食盤菜

建議12:30開始及完成,原因是考慮到潮水,參加者可以在9號在米埔看潮退,又可以在10號看潮漲。
更有好處是可以就地午餐,節省時間,壞處就是場地不易控制,壞天氣更是難預測,所以要有兩手準備。

考慮過2至3號,但潮水只有2.1米,配合不佳。也有考慮3月底,但3月底行鷸類不夠多,鶲類也會稍為失色。

I have talked to some people participating in the race, but nobody want to post anything.  Here is a modified plan for the bird race after considering those comments.

1. The race date ramains on 9 to 10 April.  
2. The time of the race is adjusted to 13:00 to 13:00.
3. The finishing point is Mai Po or a restaurant just outside Fairview Park.  Lunch and race conclusion party will also be at this restaurant.
4. School teams and Crested Bulbul Club teams will participate only on the 10th, from 08:00 to 13:00, and their race result will be judged separately.


Points to note:
1. Finishing at 13:00 allows the whole event to conclude at about 16:00.  So the day will not be too tired.  Participants can rest well before going to work next day.

2. Tidal information
9 April 2010 12:15 - 2.5 m
              15:00 - 2.0 m
10 April 2010 11:15 - 2.0 m
              13:00 - 2.4 m
With this tide, team can decide to do Mai Po on either 9th or 10th, or on both days.  This actually allow possibility to start on Po Toi island, and then do a decent seabird trip to get seabirds.

3. From recent comments, there are many teams preferring to have training/practice on bird id.  For example, identifying bird call in Tai Po Kau and id of waders.  This is important for attracting more teams from secondary schools, and also important for some teams to improve on their race result.  So we will organize some training activities just before the race.  Details will be announced later.
