The ever-popular event that sees wildlife experts showing how much they really know when under pressure! This year there is more than pride and the Great Crested Grebe trophy at stake, with £2000 prize money generously donated by Turisme de Catalunya. Representatives from the four birding clubs will be answering questions on chosen and general bird subjects:

Carl Downing will represent Neotropical Bird Club with Endemic Birds of Colombia Paul French will represent Oriental Bird Club with ‘The Endemic Species and Sub Species of Taiwan’
Mark Andrews will represent African Bird Club with ‘Birds of Cameroon’
Chris Harbard will represent Ornithological Society for the Middle East with ‘Albatrosses’

With Bill Oddie’s tongue in cheek style chairing – it really is an hour not to be missed.
