Congratulations to all these birders!
The above list does not include group accounts and those with no identifiable names.
From these 96 names, one was drawn using a computer-generated random number. This person is Madhur Upadhyay who receives a signed copy of Women in the Wild: Stories of India’s Most Brilliant Women Wildlife Biologists by Anita Mani as a small gift in appreciation.
Are you doing your best to match the target for August?
