NZ Garden Bird Survey

Today our Year Sixes took part in New Zealand's longest-running citizen science project, the Landcare Garden Bird Survey.  We spent some lovely time in the winter sun logging the birds we saw in our environment.  Next, we recorded our data on https://gardenbirdsurvey.nz/.  

When we analysed our results, we realised that we'd like to see more native birds in our environment, like tuis, kereru, silver eyes, and fantails, so next we researched what actions we could take to encourage them. Just like our Lizard Lounge project, this might inform the new actions we take around Wakaaranga to make it a more sustainable place.

You can take part in the Garden Bird Survey at home too!

We logged the information into the National database.
