Are you keen to raise money for threatened bird conservation?  Do you enjoy watching birds with friends and family while enjoying the Spring weather?

Then the Twitchathon is the race for you!

The National Twitchathon is BirdLife Australia’s Spring race for bird conservation. It’s a friendly competition in which teams of birders race to see or hear as many bird species as possible in a set time, while raising funds for BirdLife Australia and crucial conservation and research projects.

It kicks off and will run from 26–27 October in all states and territories.
