New Zealand Garden Bird survey 2020
Hi Neighbours,
If you are looking for an activity to do with your children and help NZ scientists gather data on NZ bird populations in gardens, the NZ garden bird survey is on between the 27th and the 5th of July. All you need to do is count the number of birds and bird types in your garden or park for an hour. You can find all the information at the following link, including pictures of birds you might see:

This project has been running since 2007 and is relying on kiwi spotting skills to determine the health of our birds in our backyard. Please share with friends and family!
