Getting outdoors and counting birds
The New Zealand Garden Bird Survey is one of New Zealand’s longest running citizen science projects, engaging the public in biodiversity and conservation issues.
This year we ran the survey from 27 June to 5 July, and over 7800 people took part across the country – a record result! Once analysed, the 2020 survey results will help us identify if certain key trends in common species are continuing, such as accelerating increases in kererū and slowing declines in tauhou.
