One of these 54 birders was selected, using a computer-generated random number. That person is Subramania Siva 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 December (lots of uploads with media)? And do keep an eye on the yearlong challenges for 2017!
