Dear bird blogger and webmaster,



The Critically Endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper may be down to a few as 400 birds.



I’m delighted to announce that BirdLife’s work to save two key resting and feeding sites in China, used by one of the world’s oddest and most appealing waterbirds is to receive support from Disney’s Friends for Change initiative. The project, ’Saving Spoony’s Chinese Wetlands ’ will receive at least $25,000. But if children around the world decide to give it their vote, that support could rise to $50,000, or even $100,000.



We’ve just published a story on our website asking people to “vote for Spoony” on Disney’s Friends for Change website, and I’m writing to ask if you could also help us to promote the story and the need to vote.



Please feel free to use our story on your website: http://www.birdlife.org/community/2010/ ... your-vote/.



You can also embed an amazing video of an adult bird calling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... mEaCj60mF8.



Thank you so much for your support.



Best wishes,



Nick Askew
