June 2018 eBirders of the month

ebirding-challenge-logo-800px-281x300June brings welcome rain to many parts of the country, and a number of species are in full breeding activity, so it is a very interesting month for birding. Here is the breakup of birding in India in the month of June 2018 (with previous month in brackets):

Number of birders: 995 (1,207)
Number of lists (all types): 8,500 (11,300)
Number of observations: 1.47 lakh (2.0 lakh)

who receives a copy of How to be a (bad) birdwatcher, by Simon Barnes as a small gift in appreciation.

Are you doing your best to match the target for July (at least 31 lists, spread through the month)? And there are a whole set of yearlong challenges for 2018!
