Many congratulations to all of them!

All the checklists of those named above were put into a pool and one list with uploaded media was drawn from this pool using a computer-generated random number. That list belongs to

George P J (see profile)

who receives a copy of The Seabird’s Cry, by Adam Nicolson, as a small gift in appreciation.

Are you doing your best to match the target for January (AWC counts at at least three different wetlands)? And there is a new set of yearlong challenges for 2019!
