Proving you can eat, sleep and Twitchathon all at once.
(But you just can’t win that way)

@fudgeh0g G'day, my name is Maggie, I'm your in-tern.

Oh, wait...I'm not a seabird...

...umm...I'm your accountant (I'm good with bills).

Nacho Cheese #arnottsshapes mislabelled - should be "Powdery Over-sweet Tomato". Where's the CHEESE? Brink old ones back @ArnottsBikkies

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

Hey @ArnottsBikkies - I'm breaking 6 months Twitter silence to tell you your "new & improved" Nacho Cheese #arnottsshapes suck. #gutted

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

@fudgeh0g @TimDoherty_ Yup (male on left, female right).

#WATwitchathon certificate for best effort by a team with 'young family' "considerations" goes to @pickeringrobyn2

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful, fun #WATwitchathon 2015. Time for some rest, or maybe a game of cards...

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

@ruffled_up Huge effort guys! A massive congratulations to you. Three cheers for the rufflies!

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

@Great_Twitchers Pretty sure they were wearing white shirts and long-peaked caps and masquerading as pelicans (or ibis). #SneakySuckers

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

@Great_Twitchers Great get on the avocet! Another dip for us.

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

#WATwitchathon 2015 moments: breakfast with the flycatchers in the wandoo. Notably stood-up by shrike-tits, though.

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

@oconnorfy1 Gees, Frank, what an absoloutely awesome finish. You guys rock! We only DREAM of Br. Falcs and WF Hons.

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

@Great_Twitchers Yeah. Don't recall seeing them there much, years ago. You get him too?

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

Worst dips = many (darter, YB s'bill, Wh. Kite, kestrel) but we now officially hate Grt Cormorant the most (2 yrs in a row)! #WATwitchathon

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

Best = mediocre = a Sooty Oystercatcher (that we weren't expecting) #WATwitchathon

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

Not sure whether that makes them or us the biggest losers of the two.

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

@StarkRavenMad_ disappointed that we were unable to see more birds than NZ bowled overs in 1st innings: finished on 120. #WATwitchathon

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

@oconnorfy1 Great work Twice Bittern!

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

But super-dooper stoked to have finally completed the south-west fairy-wren royal flush! Pumped to get all 5! Pumped. #WATwitchathon

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

Might wait to reveal our final #WATwitchathon 2015 total (but don't hold your breath for anything exciting). No PB for @StarkRavenMad_

[Stark Raven Mad @StarkRavenMad_]

@Great_Twitchers Could you please bring us back a take-away platter incl. darter, G Corm., RN Stint, spoonbill, LB Corella, pipit, etc.?
