Keep in mind DD, that all the people who are entering will be going through the same seasons as you.  So winter birding will be difficult for all the entrants..

and if you enter all the competitions until next year then you have the opportunity to win the overall prize as well..

Good point on the Winter birding Laine.. I will definitely think about doing that one as well

Personally I just won't be having much time to bird in the next month or two as we starting with renovations, as well as a couple of work projects coming up..

R200 for each leg, WTM.
and the plan is, as entrants numbers grow, we will increase the prize money for each leg

any pix taken in the first third of the year will count yes, just remember it is very important to maintain the EXIF data with your photos so we can confirm when it was taken.

What does EXIF stand for?

EXIF??

EXIF data: is all the data you camera attaches to each photo IOW if you right click on any of your photos you have stored to your pc and then click on "Properties" in the pop up box, you will see a whole list of data attched to the shot e.g. date taken, time taken, ISO, Shutterspeed etc etc, you can edit your photo and resize it and the EXIF data is maintained, BUT in some programs editing and saving as another file will remove the EXIF data, Photoshop maintains it, you will just need to check the software you use to edit/resize your pix maintains the EXIF data.
