THE HASTINGS QUEST

Port Macquarie location on Australian map

The QUEST is a club competition where members compete to see/hear the most species within the Hastings Quest region during a calendar year. At the end of the year, the winner is awarded the "Louris Loughland Memorial Trophy". The table below (in alphabetical order by given name) reflects each competing member's cumulative total over the year. The monthly leader's count is highlighted in green. The Quester with the highest monthly increment is highlighted in blue.

The 2019 table reflects each person's total number of birds as at December 2019 plus the number of birds seen on/from land and on pelagic trips as part of the final total.

The 2018 table with the final totals is at the bottom of the page.
