Year Six Collect Data on our Biodiversity - Annual Bird Survey

 Today Year Six took part in the Landcare Bird Survey.  Every year we record all the species of birds at our school.  Did you know birds are a bio indicator species?  More birds means a healthier environment.  

When we analysed the results, we were excited to see that we had recorded 16 different species of birds.   That's great news, as last year we only recorded 12.  Here's our year on year data:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PjnmDwG-9r-ua6NTvOoFGKhvQWn8tjTHF1DGLZrYGmI/edit?usp=sharing 

Afterwards we created fact files to research how we might further improve our school environment for the birds.  Some ideas included bird feeders, more native trees and a bird bath. Check out our fact files in the school library.
