Thank you for visiting our team's Champions of the Flyway fundraising page.

Champions of the Flyway is a major new international bird race that is being staged in Eilat, Israel – home of one of the world’s most desirable birding destinations and famous migration spectacles.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology eBirders are one of several international bird racing teams attempting to find, identify and log as many species as possible as they go head to head with other crack teams in an intense 24 hour contest to win the coveted title 'Champions of the Flyway'. 

While the racing might be light-hearted, our goal is serious - to raise conservation funding that will help the BirdLife International Partnership tackle the illegal killing of birds in Southern and Eastern Europe.

Our team members are Chris Wood, Jessie Barry, Marshall Iliff and Steve Kelling. 

We really need your help to raise funds to put an end to illegal killing. Please show your support and make a donation today. 

If you'd like to make your donation using Paypal, please note you can only do this by selecting to pay in Great Britain Pounds (GBP). You can select this currency option from the drop down menu when you choose an amount to donate. 

If you'd like to stay in touch with all the action, please remember to add your email when you donate so BirdLife can keep you updated on the race and the important conservation action they'll be delivering with your help.
