World Series of Birding – a bird spotting sport

There is a sport that requires years of training, careful planning and strategy plus physical endurance that you won’t see at the Commonwealth Games. It’s the World Series of Birding. Every year, teams gather to try to identify the greatest number of bird species in a 24 hour period, all within the State of New Jersey in America. Armed with binoculars, cameras and  clipboards, teams with names like Meet the Flockers and One Wren to Rule Them all, earn points for each different bird they can spot. We’ll talk to captain Dan Poalillio of the former World Series winners, Team  Avian Avarice.
