Dear friends

The HKBWS is going to assist the AFCD to organize the 5th Bird Race for secondary school students. This is a annual celebration event for the World Wetland Day.

The race will be organized on 23 January 2005 (Sunday, from 8:30am to 2:30pm) at Tsim Bei Tsui and Hong Kong Wetland Park Phase II. A total of 250 teachers and student (50 teams) will take part in the race. There will also be trainings and field practice sessions to be organized in December and January (see the previous message).

I am looking for helpers / adjudicators for the event. If you wish to offer help on 23 January or on other dates, please feel free to let me know.

Hope it would also be a gathering chance for birding friends, and we will have lunch afterwards....

Thanks in advance for your kind attention. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
