Romanian Ornithological Marathon, which took place at Cefa Fishponds (Bihor County) between 21-23 October. 13 teams with 2-4 persons (totally 43 people) registered at the contest, but there were also participants who didn\u2019t register.<!--more-->\n\nThe marathon started on the 22<sup>nd <\/sup>at 10:00 AM and finished on the 23<sup>rd <\/sup>at 10:00 AM. During these 24 hours the participant teams registered all the species seen or heard in their field notebooks. Unfortunately the contest was organized in late autumn, the cloudy weather and the awhile rain showed their effect on the species list. Despite all these the 13 teams registered (saw or heard) 130 bird species. Between this number and the number of species observed by the winner team there is a difference of 37 species, which means that the winner team has seen only 71,5% of the totally observed species.\n\nFrom the evaluation of the results it turned out that during the marathon 22 out of the 130 species were seen by all 13 teams, which is 16,9% of the total species list. At the same time there were 26 species (20% of the total list) seen by only one of the teams.\n\nBeside the 130 species observed during the event there were two species (Common Crane and Marsh Tit) which were only seen by the organizers (Dar\u00f3czi J. Szil\u00e1rd, Nagy Attila and Sikl\u00f3di Attila).\n\nThe competition between the first three teams was a very close one, the difference between the observed species being only one. The difference in the registered species number is more obvious between the third and fourth teams, and it is 11 species.\n\nFrom the 130 observed species two species are considered rarities for the country: Pectoral Sandpiper (<em>Calidris melanotos<\/em>) and European Herring Gull (<em>Larus argentatus<\/em>) (<a href=\"http:\/\/rarebirds.hu\/showrecord.php?id=2613\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/rarebirds.hu\/showrecord.php?id=2613<\/a>). At the end of the contest the organizers decided that the prize for the best species, a painting of a European Roller, would be given to <a href=\"https:\/\/milvus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Calidris-winner.jpg\">\u00d6lvedi Szil\u00e1rd<\/a>, who found the Pectoral Sandpiper. The European Herring Gull was found by the winner team.\n\nDuring the event several species were observed by the participants which are considered locally interesting or sparse species for the territory: <em>Whooper Swan<\/em>, <em>Black-throated Loon<\/em>, <em>Squacco Heron<\/em>, <em>Peregrine Falcon<\/em>, <em>Jack Snipe<\/em>, <em>Lesser Black-backed Gull<\/em>, <em>Black Woodpecker<\/em>, <em>Woodlark<\/em>, <em>Red-throated Pipit<\/em> and <em>Firecrest<\/em>.\n\nHereinafter we present the results of the registered teams. The first number indicates the total number of registered species by the participant team, while the second number shows the number of species only heard, not seen.\n\n&nbsp;\n<ol start=\"1\">\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/milvus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/first.jpg\"><strong>The Handicaps<\/strong>: Dehelean Luca, Gy\u00e9k\u00e9ny Gertr\u00fad, Sandu Andreea &#8211; 93\/2<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li><strong>\u201cBirdy\u201d<\/strong>: F\u00fcl\u00f6p Attila, M\u00e1th\u00e9 Orsolya, \u00d6lvedi Szil\u00e1rd, V\u00e1g\u00e1si I.
