Today Year Four conducted our annual garden bird survey. We'll share the results with Landcare as part of their citiizen science project. Did you know bird numbers are an indicator of the health of our environment? Check out our comparitive results here
You can take part at home too:
The survey introduces the concept and practice of carrying out simple surveys, which are important for scientific inquiry and a basic tool of conservation (you can’t look after wildlife properly unless you know what’s there and how much of it there is)
We observed 15 different species of bird at Sunnyhills today and the numbers were steady compared to last year, which is great news. Our planting and pest trapping may be having a positive effect.
Our Year Three's are starting an inqiry into our native birds next term. We can use this data to help come up with some actions to encourage more manu at our kura.
