I didn't get involved in it as much as I'd planned to, or wanted to at the beginning of the year.
It seems like there were a lot more public events etc, though I didn't see many reported about in the mass media.
The 'bird strike' was a good coincidence to happen in the IYA, but would've generated the same interest in any given year I think.
I guess the official IYA team will put out a press release at some stage to tell us their thoughts of the year - did they achieve their goals/aims that they wanted to, etc.
