Aotearoa / New Zealand

I do genuinely love that bit. But to me the best bit is this isn't just random inteferance for the lulz. He's done his research - learned about the history of the competition and actually looked into the birds themselves.

He has selected a candidate and then built a genuine and compelling case for voting for that candidate. I'll admit, I didn't look closely at the crested grebe when I read the site. That's because I approaching the vote wrong: I was looking for the familiar rather than the point of the competition, learning more about the birds on the list and the importance of conservation.
