December Winner: Markulous and Year Winner: Wild Canon

Congratulations to Markulous on winning the final competition of 2009 and Wild Canon on winning the overall competition for the year!

The top 3 members this year were:

1st - Wild Canon (80 votes)
2nd - Markulous (40 votes)
3rd - Keith (33 votes)

Congratuations to all three of you and also a big thanks to everyone who entered this year. If you'd like to know your score then please contact Jamie.

As you know, this was Jamie's last month running the competition so a huge thank you to him from everyone at the forum. He's run the competition brilliantly and I'm sure you'll agree it's been a big success.

There will be no January competition this year but hopefully we should have something sorted for February.

Thanks and happy new year!

RE: Supercool bird call

But so does the Snipe. As a snipe dives down during courtship it makes a distinctive drumming sound which is caused by the outer tail feathers vibrating. I've often heard it at night out on our moors.
