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 Media Birders 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 will 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 Cyprus.Our team members are Tim Appleton, Nicklas Aronsson, Morten Bentzon Hansen and Stuart Winter. With our Anglo-Scandinavian line-up we hope to show that experience of chasing birds in northern forests, along North Sea coastal marshes, on Cornish sea cliffs and across farmland will prove extremely beneficial in helping to obtain vital checklist sightings in the desert!
Please support our team by making a donation now that will help BirdLife Cyprus adress the illegal killing of migrant birds in their country.
If you'd like to stay in touch with all the action please remember to add your email when you donate so BirdLife International can keep you updated on the race and the all-important conservation action we'll all be delivering with your help.
