A very thoughtful Christmas present has just been used for the first time; a 'Waders' jigsaw puzzle that we received from my late brother David's widow, Claire. David was, and Claire still is, a great supporter of Wader Quest (she even suffered one of our talks recently with good grace and humour). It was a challenging puzzle, but we finished it in the wee small hours of the morning.
Falsterbo Bird Show in Sweden so may not be able to do much counting ourselves except, hopefully, donations!
The idea is that people will go out on that day and count shorebirds, or at least look at them. Make a note in your diary now and then go to the World Shorebirds' Day worldshorebirdsday.wordpress.com to register the site you plan to visit. Szimi's aim is for there to be pledges to visit 1,000 sites around the world, to date he has already got 209 plotted on the site.
You can vote too for the shorebird of the year for the 2014 event, any funds that are raised will be sent in support of a project somewhere in the world for the species chosen by the public. Although Wader Quest may not be able to count shorebirds on the day, we intend to make a donation to whatever species is chosen; can't wait to see which it will be.
Wader Quest is pleased to be a partner in World Shorebirds' Day it will raise awareness and who knows maybe a little money too, and from our point of view, that is a very good thing.
