3. Who observes the MOST BIRD SPECIES on the bird feeder during the contest (deadline 15 March 2012, 12:00 PM)

Between 20 January and 15 March competitors have to observe the bird feeder’s guests by watching the online webcam exclusively on the Milvus Group homepage (http://milvus.ro/category/live-webcam, but e.g. from the webpage of Justin TV it isn`t valid). When they think that they caught a moment which could belong to one of the events of the competition, they have to save it (with the help of Print Screen, Screen Capture, etc.) as an image file. The pictures should be sent in JPG format with the following information:
• The competitor’s name, the country from where she/he writes
• The event of the competition to which the image belongs and the data about the image:
Image for event 1 – it is required to send the number and the name of bird species visible in the image
Image for event 2 – it is required to send the number and the name of bird species visible in the image
Image(s) for event 3 – several images can be sent, but every image has to contain different species, it is required to send the name of the species belonging to the respective image

The results should be sent to the competition@milvus.ro address. If you have any questions or suggestions, please write to the same address.

IMPORTANT: Each person can send only one solution to each event of the competition. Incomplete results will not be considered. Results sent after deadlines will not be considered. Birds that are not on the feeder (on the ground or on the tree) don`t count in the contest.

The three winners will be the following:
The one who observes the most bird individuals simultaneously on the bird feeder
The one who observes the most bird species simultaneously on the bird feeder
The one who observes the most bird species during the contest
