Rules
- Predict 15 species from the list
of rarities, which you think will occur during 2001.
- You only have a maximum of £4500
to spend.
- Every time one of your chosen species
is sighted in Britain in 2001 then you will get one point. So,
for example, 4 Pied Wheatears in the year would give you 4 points. Each
species will only get a maximum of 15 points - even if there's
an influx.
- The person with the most points
at the end of the year is the winner.
- It will include all birds seen in the
United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man and the Channel
Islands.
- The list of species seen will be taken
each month from Birding World. Only definite sightings will be
counted - no probables or possibles, Sightings listed as 'reported'
will be pended until rarities committees decisions are announced.
- In the event of a tie at the end of the
year, the person who has predicted the most species (rather than
individuals) will be declared the winner.
- In the event of a further tie, the person
who predicted the rarest species will be the winner.
- Only individuals which arrived
during 2001 will be allowed.
- Only one list per person is allowed.
- To keep the element of surprise,
the following individuals will not be included if they are still
present or return to their traditional sites:
1. Black Duck - the three which
keep appearing in Cornwall or South Devon (e.g Stithians, Colliford,
Slapton etc.)
2. Blue-winged Teal at Grove Ferry, Kent
3. Canvasbacks in Kent or Essex.
4. Black-winged Stilt in Norfolk
5. Collared Pratincole in Norfolk
6. Bonaparte's Gull in Co. Clare
7. Forster's Tern in Essex
8. Short-toed Treecreeper in Channel Islands.
- To take part, pass your list to any BUBO member, fill out the entry form
below or send an e-mail to mike@bubo.org with your selection and personal details.
Late entries will be allowed, but will only start scoring points from
the month following the date the entry is received.
- The decision of the BUBO Fantasy Rarity
Committee is final!
