Our favorite finds were the two fantails and tuis in the Fordyce entrance trees. The flock of 9 African swallows dipping and diving over the field were pretty spectacular as well.
UPDATE - Room 20 saw two Spur-winged plovers hanging out on the field and hall roof. Wow!! Another Australian import we saw were a group of rosellas.
Sadly we also saw a cat catch a silver eye and two dead silver eyes😢 It was an action packed survey session.
We're wondering how to help our native birds and what threatens them.
And you can take part in the survey at home too! Just follow the link - http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/science/plants-animals-fungi/animals/birds/garden-bird-surveys

Looking for birds was so much fun. In total Hollie, Auralie and I found 20 different birds all around the school. This citizen science experiment was really interesting, we found 1 yellow hammer and more.
