It was never meant to last this long, but 1,533 days later, avid twitcher James Lambert has no plans to end his marathon birdwatching streak.
It lasted an impressive 41 days.
Sustaining any kind of daily habit is a tough grind, but when it involves being outdoors during northern Australia's most testing months of heatwaves and debilitating humidity, Mr Moody said the effort was "phenomenal"."I wouldn't even begin to think how much of an effort he does to get up and [go bird watching every day]. Some morning's he's up at 5am, some days he's out until 9pm.
As he trained his binoculars towards the buff-sided robin, a tiny bird that hadn't been spotted in the region for nearly 10 years, he pulled out his smartphone, not to make a call, but to feed vital information into the network.There's now so many twitchers globally, scientists have changed the way they record and study birds.
"The way [scientists] used to record migrating birds was to catch them and band them, and then try and catch them again at the other end," Mr Lambert said. "Nowadays, you don't need to do that … all of us bird watchers are citizen scientists inputting data, which then is helping in bird conservation."
